Abstract
The gastric emptying of a solid meal was measured in 39 patients after Roux-en-Y reconstruction and compared with that in 27 patients after truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty and that in 22 patients after Polya gastrectomy. There were no significant differences among the groups. It is concluded that despite the disruption of the normal motor pathway produced by the Roux-en-Y reconstruction it does not lead to clinically significant delay in gastric emptying.
