Abstract: Aim: was to study motor-evacuation and reservoir functions after gastrectomy followed by jejuno- gastroplasty by x-ray method in late-postoperative period. Material and methods: for the period from 2011 to 2017 inA.VVishnevskyNationalResearchScientificSurgicalCenter, stomach was totally replaced with a segment of the intestine in 154 patients, after gastrectomy - 144, after extirpation of the stomach stump - 8, after resection of the esophagus - in 2 cases. Indications for surgery were gastric cancer in 142 (92.2%) patients, stump cancer and cancer recurrence in esophagojejunoanastomosis - in 8(5,2%), diseases of the operated stomach - in 4(2,6%). There were 94(61,1%) men and 60(38,9%) women. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months up to 5 years, the average value was 17±2.5 months. In different terms of the long-term period, the evaluation of the evacuation (motor) and reservoir (depositing) function of the intestinal graft was carried out by means of a standard x-ray contrast study with per oral barium suspension on an empty stomach. After that, the patient took the whole portion of barium suspension (200 ml) and was examined after 20 minutes, 45, and 2 hours. Results: evaluation of reservoir capability of the reconstructed upper digestive tract was made according to rate of complete emptying of the jejunal segment and the duodenum.The speed of emptying remained within normal limits at 133(86,3%), did not exceed 20 min. and was considered to be fast - in 21(13,7%) patients. None of patients had a slow evacuation. To assess the motor function of the small intestine in new conditions of digestion, the time of passage of barium suspension through its loops was studied in 56(36,3%) patients in the long-term period, and 13(23,6%) patients revealed accelerated evacuation, and 43(76,4%) evacuation time approached the physiological norm. Conclusion: X-ray examination carried out in the remote period after gastrectomy, shows that the EGP (esophagogastro plastic) restores the normal anatomical and physiological pathway of fooc promotion in the gastrointestinal tract, and the interpolated segment of the jejunum in combination with the duodenum compensates for the reservoir function of the stomach, creating conditions for portion evacuation of food to the underlying intestine. Thus, motor-evacuation function of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with EGP in the long term is approaching the physiological norm. References 1. Zakharov EI.
