Duodenogastric reflux is considered to be a possible cause of chronic gastritis. This reflux, however, is reported to be common after cholecystectomy. In the present investigation we have studied the possible relation between chronic gastritis and prior cholecystectomy in 106 symptomatic outpatients with prior cholecystectomy and in 131 controls without cholecystectomy. We surveyed their endoscopic biopsy specimens from antral, body, and esophageal mucosa. We found that the mean score and prevalence of chronic antral and body gastritis in cholecystectomized patients was the same as or slightly lower than that in controls. The mean progression of gastritis, when compared with the progression of gastritis in the general population, was slightly slower than expected in the cholecystectomized patients. This slow progression was seen in body gastritis in cholecystectomized patients with a coexisting esophagitis. We conclude that there is no positive correlation between chronic gastritis and prior cholecystectomy. In contrast, this correlation may be negative, especially in patients with esophagitis, in whom an association of the postcholecystectomy state and a possible duodenogastric reflux with normal, nongastritic and nonatrophic body mucosa may facilitate mechanisms favoring the pathogenesis of esophagitis.
