A member asked:
In 1966 open surgery for malrotation & right kidney displacement & appendix removal age 12,now problems with acute gastroparesis/ sma syndrome ?? help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different: conditions. Both the conditions of "gastroparesis" and "SMA syndrome" are uncommon, and are very different, unrelated conditions. Neither of these would be related to past surgery. Both need a detailed evaluation by a specialist, Gastroenterologist. Both need specialized radiology testing (gastric emptying study, vascular MRI study, etc). Your doctor will know what tests you need.
