Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Examination of the postoperative stomach is a difficult and often confusing procedure. Traditional methods of investigation have depended on using small amounts of barium as well as appropriate pressure and positioning. The authors feel that the well-established technique of double-contrast radiography of the upper gastrointestinal tract (with appropriate modifications) is both easier and more diagnostic; moreover, with the exception of suspected perforation or anastomotic rupture, there are no contraindications to the use of gastrointestinal hypotonia, distension, and barium coating of the mucosa regardless of the presenting symptomatology or the acuteness or chronicity of complaints.
