We found an important role of the sphincters (bulbo-duodenal, Kapandji, Ochsner) in the duodenal physiology. On this basis, we proposed the hypothesis defining basic patterns of the duodenal motor function. Proposed hypothesis allows us to understand how the duodenum performs important functions and provides new avenues for understanding the pathogenesis of acquired diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The different forms dyskinesia of these sphincters play an important role in the pathogenesis of the SMAS, primary duodenal diverticula and sphincter Oddi dyskinesia.
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.
