Frequent occurance of postprandial antral hypomotility proved by antroduodenal manometry in patients with postcholecystectomy syndrome and normal sphincter of Oddi manometry

Background and study aims: Postcholecytectomy syndrome (PCS) (i.e. postprandial RUQ or epigastrial pain and fatty food intolerance) in patients with normal sphincter of Oddi (SO) motility is difficult to explain. The aim of the present study was to compare the results of antroduodenal manometry (ADM) in patients having normal and abnormal endoscopic SO manometry (ESOM). Patients and methods: 12 patients (2 male, 10 female, mean age: 51.2 years) with PCS underwent ADM and ESOM during the same week. 6 of the 12 patients had elevated SO basal pressure i.e. SO dysfunction (SOD pos. group), while the remaining 6 pati…
