Abstract
Refractory gastroparesis is a challenging disorder for gastroenterologists, internists, surgeons, and all health care professionals involved in the care of these patients. It should be managed by a stepwise algorithm beginning with dietary modifications, then prokinetic and antiemetic medications, measures to control pain and address psychological issues, and endoscopic or surgical options in selected patients, including placement of feeding jejunostomy tubes.
