Correlation of specific post-pancreatectomy morbidity and postoperative plasmatic biomarkers (BM) and inflammatory scores(IS)

Abstract

patients will be enrolled. Secretin, ghrelin level will be checked on preoperative day, and 1,2,3,5,7 postoperative days. Preprandial gastric motility will be checked using electrogastrography at same time. Stomach transit time will be assessed using Radio-opaque Kolomark at preoperative day, and 3,7 postoperative days. Results: So far, 25 patients were enrolled. Among them, delayed gastric emptying was diagnosed in two patients. Electrogastrography showed reduced normogastria and stomach transit time was decreased at 3 postoperative days in normal patients. Conclusion: We will find relationship between gut hormone and gastric motility after enrolling more patients. Physiologic features of delayed gastric emptying will be observed. Finally, we hope to predict delayed gastric emptying before meals.
