[Duodenal evacuatory motor disorders in patients with a resected stomach]

The motor-evacuation disorders in the duodenum after resection of the stomach represent one of the main causes of unsatisfactory results of the operation. These disorders have distinct clinical manifestations and all of them result from stasis of the duodenum content. The main cause of duodenostasis is a mechanical obstacle. Reconstructive operations undertaken to restore the duodenal passage and to liquidate all mechanical obstacles give good results.
