title: Pathophysiology of small intestinal motility.
abstract: Only in the last few years have we begun to understand the effects of surgical procedures on contractile activity of the small intestine. Although most patients readily adapt to the procedures that are performed, operations such as small intestinal transplantation make it imperative that we pursue a more thorough understanding of the effects of surgery on the motility of the small intestine.
