Emptying of the intrathoracic stomach with and without pyloroplasty
Am J Gastroenterol.

Abstract
By radioisotope technique, we studied the emptying function of the vagotomized intrathoracic stomach after esophagectomy for carcinoma of the esophagus in 24 patients, and compared it with the preoperative emptying function. The patients were randomized into a control group (no pyloroplasty) and a study group (pyloroplasty). Gastric emptying was delayed in both groups, postoperatively; however, the delay was greater in the control group than in the study group. Therefore, vagotomy delays the emptying of the thoracic stomach, and this delay is not completely corrected by pyloroplasty.
