Postgastrectomy syndrome is too imprecise a term for the numerous complications that may follow gastroduodenal operations. A carefully taken history from a patient able to describe symptoms followed by appropriate investigations will allow accurate identification and effective treatment for most. There are many patients presently suffering these complications of gastroduodenal operations. We must remain aware of the problems in order to help them.
