Application progress of digestive endoscopy for gastric emptying disorders / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Gastroparesis is a neuromuscular disease characterized by nausea and vomiting, early postprandial satiety, abdominal pain and distention.Drug therapy mainly includes gastric motility drugs such as metoclopramide and domperidone.Most patients responded well to drugs in the early stage, and some patients developed severe drug-resistant symptoms.Based on the pathogenesis of gastroparesis and the development of endoscopy technology, the current treatment methods for drug-refractory gastroparesis include gastric electrical stimulation, botulinum toxin injection, pyloric stent, gastric per-oral endoscopic pyloromyotomy, etc.This article will briefly describe the endoscopy-assisted treatment of gastroparesis.
