Abstract

Distal gastric resection has long-lasting effects on the basal electrical rhythm of the canine stomach and duodenum. After Billroth I resection, duodenal fast activity is no longer controlled by the gastric basal electrical rhythm and is excessive and uncoordinated. Segmental resection of the stomach is followed by a high incidence of retrograde conduction of the basal electrical rhythm of the stomach and duodenum. Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy reduces this retrograde activity to a minimum.
