Abstract

tomy had more frequently erosive esophagitis than patients with cholecystectomy (p<0.05). Conclusions: Colecystectomy do not increase the overall number of reflux episodes compared to patients without colecystectomy, but modifies significantly the composition of the refluxate raising the frequency of nonacid reflux. The different proportion of acid/nonacid reflux may explain the higher presence of erosive esophagitis in nCCE patients.
