	XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		The position of the full stomach depends, as already indicated, on the state of the intestines; when these are empty the fundus expands vertically and also forward, the pylorus is displaced toward the right and the whole organ assumes an oblique position, so that its surfaces are directed more forward and backward.
		In the erect posture the empty stomach is somewhat J-shaped; the part above the cardiac orifice is usually distended with gas; the pylorus descends to the level of the second lumbar vertebra and the most dependent part of the stomach is at the level of the umbilicus.
		The chief modifications are determined by (1) the amount of the stomach contents, (2) the stage which the digestive process has reached, (3) the degree of development of the gastric musculature, and (4) the condition of the adjacent intestines.

	Nissen Fundoplication & Acid Reflux Disease - Surgerychannel.com
		The upper portion of the stomach (the fundus), which is on the left side of the esophagus, is pulled behind and wrapped around the lower portion of the esophagus and then sutured to the portion of the stomach that has moved into the fundus's original position.
		The esophageal hiatus is tightened with a couple of stitches to prevent herniation of the fundoplication and then the surgeon performs the procedure.
		Laparoscopic surgery allows for a faster recovery period, less postoperative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a much smaller scar.

	Gastrin Receptor Pathway
		Gastrin travels through the bloodstream and binds to the gastrin receptor on the parietal cells, located in the gastric body and fundus.
		Digested food in the stomach chemically stimulates the release of gastrin from G cells located in the antrum of the stomach.
		Distention of the stomach causes release of acetylcholine from the vagus nerve, and this further stimulates the G cells to produce gastrin.

	Laparoscopic Surgery for GERD
		The operation for treatment of GERD, fundoplication, involves constructing a new "valve" between the esophagus and the stomach by wrapping the upper portion of the stomach (the fundus) around the lowest port of the esophagus.
		Depending on the type of procedure, the wrap is either sutured to the esophagus itself (as in the Toupet), or it is sutured to the stomach on the other side of the wrap (as in the Nissen).
		Fundoplication is done as either an open or a laparoscopic procedure.

	Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
		During the fundoplication surgery, the surgeon improves the natural barrier between the stomach and the esophagus by wrapping a part of the stomach known as the gastric fundus around the lower esophagus.
		During the laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication procedure, surgeons use small surgical tools and a laparoscope to repair the muscle that separates the stomach and esophagus.
		These sorts of pioneering advances will continue under the leadership of Adrian Park, M.D., a nationally known leader in laparoscopic surgery who is the Chief of General Surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center and professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

		The pyloric valve ( valvula pylori) is formed by a reduplication of the mucous membrane of the stomach, covering a muscular ring composed of a thickened portion of the circular layer of the muscular coat.
		To the left of the cardiac orifice is the incisura cardiaca: the projection of this notch into the cavity of the stomach increases as the organ distends, and has been supposed to act as a valve preventing regurgitation into the esophagus.

	Digase rationale - digestive aid
		Once the food bolus has entered the stomach, it may remain in the fundus or upper region of the stomach for as long as an hour until the food is mixed with the stomach secretions.
		This enzyme is called ptyalin and consists of amylolytic enzymes.
		As the food travels down the esophagus via peristaltic action, ptyalin as well as any endogenous enzymes continue the digestive process started in the mouth.

	GASTRIN interpretation.
		Gastrin is secreted by the gastric fundus and controls acid production by the gastric parietal cells in the body of the stomach.
		Normally gastrin production is low in the resting state but increases in response to food entering the stomach and causing a decline in gastric acidity.
		Constantly increased gastrin levels (>500 pg/ml) with little or no stimulation after a meal are found in patients with gastrinomas.

	Nissen fundoplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In fundoplication, the fundus (upper part) of the stomach is wrapped around (-plication) the inferior part of the esophagus, preventing the reflux of gastric acid (in GERD) or preventing the sliding of the fundus through the enlarged hiatus in the diaphragm.
		Nissen fundoplication is a surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatus hernia.
		Rudolph Nissen first performed the procedure in 1951, and the procedure therefore bears his name.
