A study of the functions of the stomach following pyloric obstruction and gastro-enterostomy

  • Published:
The American Journal of Digestive Diseases

Summary and Conclusions

Gastric secretion was studied in dogs having gastrostomies followed by partial pyloric stenosis and subsequent gastro-enterostomy. The results were variable: no change in volume and acid secretion was noted in some animals, an increase in others, and a decrease in a third group. Neither peptic nor anastomotic ulcers were observed in any of the animals. Gastro-enterostomy in dogs with partial pyloric obstruction cannot be relied upon to produce rapid emptying of the stomach or a reduced gastric acidity.
