Electrogastrography in patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction after previous Billroth gastrectomy

Abstract

Gastric myoelectrical activity was investigated by means of electrogastrography (EGG) in 13 patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction after previous Billroth gastrectomy. Abnormal EGG recording is associated with dyspepsia in patients after Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
