ABSTRACT
The condition was studied of intermittent motility (IM) of the stomach and duodenal bulb in patients with duodenal ulcer in the preoperative period, six months later and 12 months after performing selective proximal vagotomy (n = 131, 103, and 83 respectively). All patients presented with disorders in their IM which were found to be dependent on their preoperative condition failing to reverse even 6 to 12 months after having the operation.

Disturbed motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract presenting with phasic derangement (the absence of all motor phases or peristaltic duodenal contraction, abnormal duration of phases) has been found out in all cholelithiasis patients examined. The findings should in no way be viewed as isolated chronic duodenal insufficiency. Impairment of esophageal, gastric and duodenal motility needs identification and correction in combined treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of cholelithiasis.
