[Characteristics of the motor function of the gallbladder in the dumping syndrome and their importance in establishing a therapeutic diet].

In 76 patients suffering from the dumping syndrome following gastric resection in connection with peptic ulcer the motor function of the gallbladder and gastric stump was studied. Investigations ascertained the existence of a direct relationship between the type of the gallbladder dyskinesia and evacuation periods from the gastric stump. The authors consider the hypermotor dyskinesia of the gallbladder combined with an accelerated evacuation from the stump to be an optimal combination after excision of the stomach. On the other hand, the hypomotor dyskinesia of the gallbladder with an accelerated emptying of the gastric stump was regarded as am explicit pathology demanding persistent curative measures. Principles of pathogenetic dietotherapy have been evolved.
