The manometric profile of the oesophagogastric junction has been studied in patients subjected one year earlier to partial gastric resection. A reduction in maximum basal pressure (--49.8%) and length of the lower oesophageal sphincter (--35.45%) were noted. These figures agree with what was observed one month after operation in a previous study. It is concluded that gastric resection lead to a non-transitory reduction in sphincter function.

Abstract
The manometric profile of the oesophagogastric junction has been studied in patients subjected one year earlier to partial gastric resection. A reduction in maximum basal pressure (--49.8%) and length of the lower oesophageal sphincter (--35.45%) were noted. These figures agree with what was observed one month after operation in a previous study. It is concluded that gastric resection lead to a non-transitory reduction in sphincter function.
