OBJECTIVE We present a new method of assessment of gastric emptying in gastrectomized patients. METHODS The gastric emptying of non digestible solids were studied in two groups of gastrectomized patients, the Billroth II (n = 25) and the Roux-en-Y (n = 36) to relate the gastric emptying with the postgastrectomy symptoms. RESULTS The food retained in the gastric stump is related with significance with the presence (p = 0.01) and the absence (p = 0.02) of markers. The patients operated on with the Billroth II technique present a higher frequency of markers in the gastric stump (40% over 19.4% with the Roux-en-Y). The markers in the gastric stump are more common with the symptoms of pyrosis, nausea, bilious vomit, diarrhea and the postoperative gastritis of alkaline reflux. CONCLUSIONS The method of gastric emptying of non digestible solids is a valid and reliable study of the gastric emptying and should be carried out in all candidates for endoscopy because it is harmless and easy to perform and evaluate.
