Future or Investigational Therapies
Procedures
- Continuous enteral feeding.[1]
- Electrical stimulation of the small intestine to achieve gastrointestinal pacing in dumping syndrome.[2]
- In dogs prepared with truncal vagotomy, distal gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction, retrograde electrical pacing of the Roux-en-Y reconstruction significantly delayed gastric emptying and absorption of a glucose meal and decreased postcibal hemoconcentration.
