Gastroparesis: Current Opinions and New Endoscopic Therapies
Gastroparesis is a disease with a complex pathophysiology that is not yet fully understood. Antroduodenal hypomotility, impaired fundic accommodation, and pylorospasm are believed to play major roles in delaying gastric emptying. Patients with  gastroparesis suffer from frequent nausea, vomiting, earlier satiety, regurgitation, and so forth. Diabetes is the most common cause. Other causes include gastrointestinal surgery, some disorders of the nervous system, such as Parkinson disease and stroke, and some medicines, such as tricyclic ant idepressants, calcium channel blockers, and opiate pain relievers and others.
