Sequential scintigraphy after total gastrectomy and gastric replacement

A Sonntag et al. Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl. 1981.

Abstract

In 24 patients with a substitute stomach according to Hunt-Lawrence-Rodino with additional jejunal plication functional scintigraphic investigations of emptying were performed.

Results: 1. the jejunal pouch proved to be a sufficient reservoir in 22 patients. 2. the emptying was continuous in the majority but delayed in all cases. 3. esophageal reflux was absent in all cases under physiological conditions, due to the additional jejunal plication.
