Acid Secretion and Its Relationship to Esophageal Reflux Symptom in Patients with Subtotal Gastrectomy

Abstract: Esophageal reflux symptom is common in patients after subtotal gastrectomy, possibly because of anti-reflux-barrier impairment and preservation of acid secretory capacity following surgery. Optimal acid suppression may be helpful in managing postoperative esophageal reflux symptom.

“…Most postoperative patients have varying degrees of acid reflux [26]. The causes of this phenomenon may be as follows: (1) the absence of a lower esophageal sphincter, (2) peristaltic dysfunction and diminished digestive function of the remnant stomach, and (3) altered esophageal and gastric remnant physiological functions due to vagal denervation during surgery [27]. On the 24-h pH monitoring of the remnant esophagus at 1 week after surgery, there were no significant differences in reflux trends between the two groups.…”

“…At present, thoracoscopy combined with laparoscopy to free the thoracic esophagus and abdominal proximal gastric body, along with the final external reconstruction with tubular stomach tissue, are relatively mature surgical methods (37). However, after resection of the proximal gastric body, the anti-reflux mechanism is lost, and digestive juices of the patient can easily migrate upward when the patient is lying flat (38). Digestive juices are highly acidic, and the newly formed granular tissue at the esophagogastric anastomosis is more vulnerable to corrosion (39).…”

“…Secondly, the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics after surgery may inhibit the function of normal flora, leading to the proliferation of drug-resistant harmful microflora, with the occurrence of symptomatic gastrointestinal episodes, such as the excessive passage of gas, foul smell of flatulence, belching, heartburn, abdominal noises, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain [23]. Thirdly, surgical trauma may alter the permeability of the intestinal mucosa, which not only causes local inflammation but also leads to the disorder of gastrointestinal flora, which in turn aggravates inflammatory respons [24]. Moreover, surgery also affects the number of intestinal microflora, as reported, the relative abundance of intestinal Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus decreased, while the Escherichia coli and Streptococcus usually increased after colon resection in colorectal cancer patient [25].…”
