Abstract
Gastric motor disorders constitute an important part of clinical gastroenterological practice. Normal gastric motor function includes gastric accommodation which provides a reservoir during meal ingestion, gastric emptying at a rate that matches small bowel absorptive function and interdigestive motility that eliminates indigestible particles. Disorders of gastric motor function include impaired accommodation, gastroparesis and dumping syndrome. This review summarises current knowledge on the pathophysiology, diagnostic approach and treatment for these disorders.
