    This paper confirms that gastric hypersecretion can occur in man and dogs after massive intestinal resection. The assumption, made by others, that hypersecretion in the clinical situation is similar to that observed in dogs is challenged. An acute hypersecretory state occurred in eight of 19 patients after massive intestinal resection. This was apparent as an increased rate of basal secretion. It was usually transient and unrelated to the length of intestine resected. A correlation was noticed between hypersecretion and jaundice in the immediate postoperative period. Histamine release after acute hepatic injury was postulated as the cause of the hypersecretion. By contrast a chronic gastric hypersecretory state was demonstrated in dogs after massive intestinal resection. The rate of basal secretion was not significantly altered. The increased daily acid output was shown to be due to prolonged and enhanced response to food. The cause was thought to be loss of inhibitory agents, such as enterogastrone, normally released by the small intestine when in contact with food. The rationale of performing vagotomy and pyloroplasty at the same time as the intestinal resection is questioned.

    Gastric Phase of Digestion01:26

    Gastric Phase of Digestion

    The gastric phase of digestion begins as soon as food enters the stomach. The incoming food bolus triggers neural and hormonal mechanisms, which last approximately 3 to 4 hours. During this phase, the stomach undergoes significant changes to prepare the food for further digestion and absorption.
    When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...
    Intestinal Phase of Digestion01:29

    Intestinal Phase of Digestion

    The intestinal phase of digestion is the third and final stage of the digestive process, occurring after the cephalic and gastric phases. It begins when chyme, a partially digested mixture of food and digestive enzymes, enters the small intestine from the stomach. This phase is crucial for nutrient absorption and involves complex hormonal and enzymatic interactions.
    The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
    Gastric Emptying01:16

    Gastric Emptying

    Gastric emptying occurs when the stomach gradually releases chyme into the duodenum. When the stomach is distended, it triggers the release of gastrin, a hormone that promotes gastric acid secretion to aid in digestion. Additionally, stomach distension contributes to peristaltic waves that propel gastric contents toward the pyloric region. The gastroenteric reflex, on the other hand, primarily stimulates peristalsis in the intestines, facilitating the movement of contents further along the...

    Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

    Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
    Sigmoidoscopy
    Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
    Pyloric Obstruction01:11

    Pyloric Obstruction

    Pyloric obstruction, also referred to as gastric outlet obstruction, is a condition characterized by narrowing or blockage at the pylorus—the muscular valve regulating the flow of stomach contents into the duodenum. When this passage becomes impaired, the stomach cannot effectively empty its contents into the small intestine. This disruption leads to a range of gastrointestinal symptoms, including early satiety, bloating, epigastric pain, postprandial nausea, persistent vomiting, and...
