ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report our experience of endoscopic botulinum toxin injection in patients who experienced severe delayed gastric emptying after pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We reviewed the medical records of 6 patients who received the botulinum toxin injection. They presented with severe delayed gastric emptying in the early postoperative period. Endoscopic botulinum toxin was administered as 4 injections of 25−50 IU into each of the 4 quadrants of the prepyloric area.RESULTS:
All botulinum toxin injections were successful without any complications, enabling 5 patients to tolerate soft solid diets and one to tolerate a soft fluid diet within 10 days. The endoscopic criteria of 4 patients improved. Symptom recurrence caused 2 patients to undergo repeat injections that were successful. The median follow-up period was 27 months, and all patients could ingest normal regular diets at the last follow-up.CONCLUSIONS:
Endoscopic botulinum toxin injection is a feasible treatment option for early delayed gastric emptying after PPG.
