Abstract
Background: Delayed gastric emptying or gastric stasis is a unique complication of pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy (PPPD). Recently, some studies revealed that reconstruction with antecolic duodenojejunostomy improved early gastric stasis after PPPD. However; there are few reports about detailed gastric motility especially in the fasting state. We investigated fasting gastric motility with the two different types of reconstruction after PPPD; antecolic or retrocolic duodenojejunostomy. Patients and Methods: Between September 2001 and September 2005, 50 Japanese patients underwent PPPD with the modified Child reconstruction and were enrolled in this study.
