Abstract：
:Gastric emptying times and symptoms were recorded in 18 patients after total gastrectomy and either a 15-cm J-pouch (n = 10) or a standard esophagojejunal anastomosis (n = 8). A solid test meal labeled with 99mTc was used to compare the emptying times. The postoperative symptoms and nutritional status were also assessed. The J-pouch resulted in a prolonged period of food retention in the upper jejunum (p < 0.02) compared to that with a standard esophagojejunal anastomosis. The patients with a J-pouch had fewer episodes of postprandial pain (p < 0.03) or vomiting (< 0.04). They also had fewer dietary restrictions (p < 0.04) and better nutritional status.
