Successful use of neostigmine for resistant gastroparesis following distal gastrectomy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Although short acting acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors are used in colonic or small bowel pseudo-obstruction, their use in post-surgical gastroparesis is not clear. We demonstrate the successful use of neostigmine in a patient with resistant gastroparesis following distal gastrectomy.

Case Presentation: A 73-year-old male presented with features of gastric outflow obstruction 3 weeks following a distal gastrectomy.
