The effect of reconstruction after subtotal gastrectomy on release of vasoactive intestinal peptide.
To avoid dumping after Billroth gastrectomy, we designed pylorus and antroseromuscular-flap preserving subtotal gastrectomy (PAFPG). The mean maximal plasma level of VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) in PAFPG after oral hypertonic glucose was close to that in the control. Compared with PAFPG group, the plasma VIP concentrations after hypertonic glucose ingestion in BI and BII group were significantly higher, and the concentration of plasma VIP in dumpers was significantly higher than that in non-dumpers after BI or BII gastrectomy. The results suggest that the amount of VIP release is related to the type of reconstruction after gastrectomy.
