In patients with stomach surgery, the biliary reflux reduces the incidence of Helicobacter Pylori since it creates unfavorable conditions for the survival of this bacteria. This is more evident in those cases operated on with Billroth I and II o with vagotomies with pyloroplasty. Of 55 patients with stomach surgeries included in an experimental non-blind and random study, helicobacter pylory was found in 30 of them by using invasive methods., which showed a high incidence of 55% after a comparison with the international medical literature data. These 30 patients were adults of both sexes diagnosed with chronic alkaline gastritis due to duodenal-gastric reflux, gastric-resected (Billroth I,II) through upper endoscopy and H.pylory-positive. H.pylori infection was more frequent in male patients aged 46-60 years. Nursing care in endoscopy and in the various research methods for detecting H.pylori was described. Emphasis was made on the importance of the nurses’work to ensure successful diagnosis of this infection
