Abstract
Patients (118) with dyspepsia after peptic ulcer surgery were assessed by a double contrast Ba meal and fiber-optic endoscopy, for the possibility of recurrent ulceration. There was overall endoscopic-radiological agreement in 89%. The 2 techniques are complementary and a double contrast Ba meal performed and interpreted by an experienced radiologist can demonstrate the presence or absence of a recurrent peptic ulcer with an acceptable degree of accuracy.
