Foregut surgeons will encounter gastroparesis in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and prior gastresophageal operations. Clues in the history and diagnostic studies at first consultation will inform surgical decision making. Stepwise progression through multiple treatments may be required for patients to achieve symptom relief from post-surgical gastroparesis. Endoscopic pyloromyotomy and robotic-assisted pyloroplasty are safe, effective and definitive procedures for post-surgical gastroparesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
