Abstract
Gastroparesis is the most common disorder of gastric motility. It is frequently overlooked in clinical practice because the symptoms of gastroparesis are nonspecific. This article reviews normal and abnormal gastric motility, discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of gastroparesis, and provides an overview on new treatment options for gastroparesis, including gastric stimulation.Entities:
