Abstract Gastric emptying of solids and liquids was measured in 12 dogs with and without corporal or antral gastrojejunostomy. Both types of stoma hastened the onset but did not alter the time from onset to complete emptying of 40 small plastic spheres. Corporal gastrojejunostomy slowed the emptying of 400 ml. of 154 mM NaCl but not of 500 mM glucose, whereas antral gastrojejunostomy slowed the emptying of both.
