Gastroparesis

Home  /  Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is usually a complication of advanced diabetes. It means failure of the stomach to empty effectively, causing retained food for long periods of time, causing indigestion, repeated vomiting, and weight loss. Dietary changes are attempted initially. Medications can be helpful in mild cases. However, the mainstay of treatment recently has been Implantation of the Gastric Stimulator to the stomach wall with great results. This procedure can be done laparoscopically in minimally invasive methods. In severe unresponsive cases, near total or total gastrectomy is required, and this also can be done laparoscopically as well.
