title: [Reservoir capacity of esophagojejunostomy following gastrectomy determined by the radioisotope method].
abstract: The substitute reservoir emptying was determined quantitatively in 16 patients with total gastrectomy by means of the radio-isotope method. The continuity was restored in 15 patients by an entero-anastomosis in modification according to Graham and in one patient by esophagoduodenostomy. The investigation was carried out in 11 patients with total gastrectomy in upright position and in 4 patients in lying position. As control group there were used 14 normal subjects. The emptying traces, the radioactive half-life, and the emptying rate show a clear acceleration of the emptying. The behaviour of the emptying returns to normal in lying position. A constant relation of these findings could not be found out compared with the nutritional state or the postprandial complaints.
