Estimation of the gallbladder motility after meal stimulation in the postgastrectomy patients by infusion cholescintigraphy.
The aim of this study is the assessment of the gallbladder (GB) motility in the controls without (C) and with (Cs) test-meal stimulation, as well as in the patients early (EPG) and late (LPG) after total gastrectomy. Data were collected with ROTA scintillation camera, during (3 h, 10 ml/h) infusion of 150 MBq, 0.25 mg/ml 99mTc-EHIDA, preceded by a loading dose (0.5 mg/ml, 50 MBq). While in EPG, GB motility is impaired, it achieves physiological values in LPG patients, which can be attributed to establishment of corresponding hormonal mechanisms, in the late postoperative period.
