Observational assessment reveals gastric myoelectrical abnormalities in post-oesophagectomy patients, indicating potential diagnostic paths.

Patients exhibited varied gastric myoelectrical phenotypes following oesophagectomy, impacting function and symptom burden.
Analysis showed correlations between myoelectrical amplitude and symptom burden, with r = 0.47, p = 0.042.
Non-invasive gastric mapping identified distinct phenotypes, including dysrhythmic and low amplitude, aiding diagnosis.
These insights suggest a need for better management strategies for delayed gastric conduit emptying post-surgery.

Sivakumar et al. (2025) studied this question.
