Abstract
AIM: To investigate influence of portal-azygos devascularization via abdomen with stapler on gastric motility in portal hypertension canines with liver cirrhosis and the significance of pyloroplasty.
METHODS: Eighteen portal hypertension canines with liver cirrhosis were randomly divided into three groups. Portal-azygos devascularization via abdomen with stapler was performed in group A, while portal-azygos devascularization via abdomen with stapler and pyloroplasty were performed in group B. Sham operation was performed in group C, the control group. The changes of gastric motility in all canines were studied using real-time ultrasonography.
RESULTS: In group A, gastric emptying half-time and emptying time were delayed, gastric peristalsis frequency, amplitude and motility indices were reduced at day 7 post-operation compared with pre-operation (101.8 ± 16.89 min vs 63.22 ± 12.67 min, 215.0 ± 31.26 min vs 153.7 ± 22.45 min, 0.96 ± 0.21 vs 2.11 ± 0.55, 0.12 ± 0.03 vs 0.20 ± 0.04, 0.17 ± 0.05 vs 0.47 ± 0.13, all P < 0.05). Fourteen days after operation, all other indices except for gastric peristalsis frequency returned to the pre-operation levels (P > 0.05). At day 21 post-operation, there was no significant difference in gastric peristalsis frequency compared with pre-operation (P > 0.05). In group B, gastric emptying half-time and emptying time at day 7 post-operation returned to the pre-operation levels (P > 0.05), but gastric peristalsis frequency was reduced (0.91 ± 0.38 vs 2.04 ± 0.49, P < 0.05). At day 21 post-operation, there was no significant difference in gastric peristalsis frequency compared with pre-operation. All indices returned to the pre-operation levels in group C at day 7 post-operation.
CONCLUSION: Pyloroplasty improves gastric emptying only in 7 days after portal-azygos devascularization via abdomen with stapler. It is unnecessary to add pyloroplasty regularly in portal-azygos devascularization via abdomen with stapler.
