[Importance of electrogastrography and pharmacological tests in assessing gastric motor function in vagotomy]
Abstract:
The effect of 6 pharmacological drugs on the motor function of the stomach in patients with ulcer disease was studied. It was established that Cerucal was the best modulator of gastric motor activity. There were three types of reaction of electrogastrogram to the administration of Cerucal. It was noted that in the first type there was a real danger of the development of postvagotomic kinetic disorders. In the second and third types such a danger was as a rule absent. This method of prognosis of motor disorders after vagotomy was successfully used in 81 patients with ulcer disease of the duodenum treated with the help of vagotomy.
