🎙️ Tune in to explore:

Gastrectomy procedures and reconstruction types, including Billroth I, Billroth II, and Roux-en-Y

Dumping syndrome, its early vs late phases, and the role of hyperosmolar shifts and reactive hypoglycemia

Alkaline reflux gastritis and bile-mediated injury after reconstruction
