Summary
In a group of 44 patients the body weight, emptying time, size, motility and secretion of the stomach, its mucosa by gastroscopy, and the erythrocyte and differential count and hemoglobin was studied. The body weight seemed to be a fairly good indicator of postoperative results after subtotal gastric resection. The results of all functional tests and observations performed varied too much to be considered as reliable indicators of clinical and results.
