Previous studies using cholescintigraphy and measurement of bile salts in gastric juice have demonstrated that duodenogastric reflux is increased after cholecystectomy, a factor that may contribute to postoperative complaints in some patients. We studied 24-hour continuous gastric pH in healthy subjects, patients with cholelithiasis, and patients who had undergone cholecystectomy. Cholecystectomy decreased the percentage of time that gastric pH is below 2 and increased the time it is above 4 and 6. Furthermore, there was a greater increase in the more alkaline pH values in patients who were symptomatic than in those who were asymptomatic. The results demonstrated that cholecystectomy is associated with an alkaline shift in the 24-hour gastric pH profile that is most marked in symptomatic patients. This suggests that gastric alkaline episodes may be related to some postcholecystectomy symptoms. |
