Abstract  Gastrointestinal motility may be impaired after endoscopic mucosal resection of gastric lesions. We investigated whether oral erythromycin could improve motility. Twenty patients were divided randomly into groups that received oral omeprazole with or without erythromycin. Motility was recorded overnight at 3 days before and 4 days after endoscopic resection using a microtransducer probe. In the group without erythromycin, gastric phase III activity decreased significantly after endoscopic resection, while it was increased significantly by erythromycin (PâPâPâPâ
