Esophageal signs after resection of the gastroesophageal junction: endoscopic follow-up study.

A follow-up examination was performed on 15 patients who had undergone esophagogastric resection or total gastrectomy for cancer an average of ten years earlier. Endoscopy was done in each case. None of the patients who had the esophagogastrostomy high in the esophagus had esophagitis. The diameter of the esophagogastrostomy appeared to have no direct effect on the patient's dysphagia if he adhered to his customary eating habits. Patients with postgastrectomy Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy had no dysphagia or esophagitis and mastication was no problem during eating.
