Post-operative absorption of water from the small intestine.
An investigation of water absorption from the small intestine after abdominal surgery has produced more detailed information on the effect of trauma on the motility of the gastro-intestinal tract. Whereas after trauma the equilibration of tritiated water given by the oral and colonic routes is retarded, given by the jejunal route it is normal.
