“…The third most common subtype is postsurgical Gp [6]. In the past, gastric ulcer resection surgery, particularly with vagotomy was the surgery most commonly associated with Gp [8]. Today, the more common surgical procedures associated with postsurgical Gp appear to be fundoplication and bariatric surgeries [6].…”

“…Today, the more common surgical procedures associated with postsurgical Gp appear to be fundoplication and bariatric surgeries [6]. In atypical cases patients can develop Gp symptoms associated with connective tissue and neuromuscular diseases such as Scleroderma, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Sjögren's Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and Myasthenia Gravis [6,8].…”

The symptoms of gastroparesis, such as nausea, vomiting, postprandial fullness, early satiety and abdominal pain, frequently impair the quality of life of the affected individuals. The diagnosis of gastroparesis is made after structural etiologies are ruled out and an assessment of gastric function shows delayed gastric emptying. The role of the delay in gastric emptying in the pathogenesis of symptoms of gastroparesis has been debated, with some studies suggesting an association between delayed gastric emptying and the upper gastrointestinal symptoms, while others do not. The recent literature supports the importance of using reliable methods to assess gastric emptying, as delay in gastric emptying measured on a reliable test (4-h scintigraphy or breath test) is associated with the severity of upper gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition to measuring total gastric emptying, evaluation of regional gastric retention in the proximal and distal stomach and whole gut transit to assess small intestinal and colonic transit may provide additional useful information in patients with more generalized symptoms of gastrointestinal dysmotility.
