32. Epidemiology: What do we know about Marginal Ulcers? Marginal ulcers represent one of the most problematic postoperative complications following Roux-en-Y A marginal ulcer, or stomal ulceration, refers to the development of mucosal erosion at the gastrojejunal anastomosis, typically on the jejunal side. incidence of marginal ulcers is 0.6 to 16 % The true incidence is very likely much higher

45. Marginal Ulcers: Achilles Heel of Gastric Bypass Management 1. Warn Patients & Surgeon “Be Vigilant” 2. Aggressive anti-H. Pylori Rx 3. Aggressive use of Antacids 4. Strict Avoidance of Ulcerogenic Agents(NSAIDS, Etoh, Smoking, Coffee, Soda, Nitrates) 5. Encourage: Probiotics, Yogurt, Fruits Vegetables BILE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!!!
52. 100,000’s of people already have and are living with and are getting the Billroth II every day
53.
54. Why haven’t concerned bariatric surgeons stepped forward to start a fund to help suffering Billroth II patients get needed conversions of their surgery to Roux-en-Y?

56. Why haven’t concerned bariatric surgeons stepped forward to national funding for lifetime endoscopic screening of Billroth II patients to find dreaded gastric cancers?
