The aim of investigation--to study the motor function of the colon and gall bladder after hemicolectomy. Electromyog- raphy is the method to study motility of gastrointestinal tract. This method allow to assess the condition of the motor func- tions of the various parts of the intestine, and also to compare, in particular, the motility of the colon with the contractile activity of the gallbladder in patients with extensive resection of the colon (the right- or left-sided hemicolectomy). In 19 patients with hemicolectomy clinical symptoms are marked reduction in body weight, pain along the colon and constipa- tion. These manifestations are correlate with the contractile activity of the gall bladder and colon. Electromyography reveal the presence of some spastic contraction of the gallbladder dyskinesia, hypomoving activity of the ascending portion of the colon, which clinically correspond with constipation. As the nutritional preparation, the corrective nutrient mixture for enteral administration was used for patients after hemicolectomy. The ixture administration produced the recovery of frequency and amplitude of the slow waves of the bowel electromyogram.
