title: Estimation of the gallbladder motility after meal stimulation in the postgastrectomy patients by infusion cholescintigraphy.
abstract: 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.
