| Abstract: | Alcohol tolerance and gastric emptying were studied in ten patients before and three months after oesophagectomy and gastric replacement. There was no change in alcohol tolerance, but gastric emptying was accelerated. It is postulated that intestinal absorption may be impaired at three months after operation. |
