Gastric motility and emptying in health and after vagotomy and after gastric resection.
By observing the relation of the three emptying curves on the whole stomach, proximal and the antral area, we could clarify the distinction of the emptying curves for the stomach forms in healthy subjects, and the gastric emptying motility and the movement of gastric contents were also clarified. Based on these results, the emptying curves on SPV and segmental gastrectomy were studied. From these results, we concluded that the emptying of SPV was similer to that of the healthy subjects when pyloroplasty was applied to SPV. On the segmental gastrectomy, we could make it clear that when pyloromyotomy was applied to the segmental gastrectomy, early rapid emptying did not occur, either. In addition to these results, we would like to emphasize the necessity for describing three curves on the whole stomach area, the proximal area and the antral area for the analysis of gastric emptying and motility.
