[Postoperative small intestinal absorption after cholecystectomy].

The postoperative resorption in the small intestine after cholecystectomie was found out by means of the modified D-xylose resorption test on the 2-th, 4-th, 6-th an 8-th postoperative day for 14 patients. The velocity and the dimension of the enteral resorption of D-xylose was lower in the immediate postoperative phase. The dimension of the D-xylose resorption was normalized on 4. p. o. day and obtained the preoperative starting-value on the 8-th postoperative day. The myoelectrical activity of the small intestine normalized in a shorter time after cholecystectomy than the enteral resorption. A formal parallelism consists between the normalisation of the motoric activity of the stomach and the xylose-resorption in the immidiate postoperative phase. For the small intestine resorption in the postoperative phase completely clarified and required further investigations. The influences of electrolyte displacement and disturbances of the microcirculation in the postoperative period in the small intestine resorption were discussed.
