OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that intestinal motility is delayed after hepatectomy, which alters the ecology of the enteric microflora and contributes to the development of bacterial translocation from the gut. DESIGN: Open experimental study. SETTING: University department of surgery. MATERIAL: Adult male @entity35 (n = 6 in each group at each time point). INTERVENTIONS: Sham operation, 90% hepatectomy, and @entity432 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Intestinal morphology, immunocytochemistry of the enteric nervous system, enteric bacterial growth in the small intestine and colon, and intestinal transit time. RESULTS: Intestinal transit was already delayed one hour after 90% hepatectomy, and histopathological alterations and @entity8032 by @entity526 had developed after two hours. There were significant differences in intestinal transit time between sham operated @entity35 and those subjected to @entity432 on the one hand, and those that underwent 90% hepatectomy on the other. There was no difference in intestinal transit time between @entity35 with @entity432 and the sham operated animals. CONCLUSION: Delayed intestinal transit after 90% hepatectomy may contribute to enteric @entity6124 and thereby contribute to the development of bacterial translocation from the gut.
