Gastroparesis that is refractory to standard dietary and medical management may benefit from surgical treatment with gastric electrical neurostimulation, which has shown promise in reducing symptoms of the disease. Pyloroplasty may serve an adjunctive role to a gastric stimulator, but the precise benefit remains unclear. The present study compares reported rates of symptom improvement following gastric neurostimulator implantation with and without pyloroplasty.
