Recovery from gastroparesis is best demonstrated by the disappearance of abdominal distension, a decrease in the amount of gastrointestinal decompression, and the absence of nausea and vomiting after eating. Gastroparesis, clinically known as impaired gastric emptying, usually occurs as a complication of abdominal surgery, but it is less likely to occur. Clinical manifestations include abdominal distension and tenderness in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting and persistent eructation, which worsens after eating, and if these symptoms decrease or disappear, it is usually a sign that gastroparesis is gradually recovering. Clinical management of gastroparesis includes general treatment, i.e., gastrointestinal decompression, water fasting, and maintenance of water and electrolyte balance. After these treatments, the patient’s gastroparesis symptoms may be relieved, suggesting recovery from gastroparesis.
