1.   In addition, if the contralateral vagus were also divided, stimulation of the proximal end of the divided vagus caused a decrease in bile flow.

2.   The proximal end of the stent is adjusted to be level with the papillary orifice.

3.   The distances between the idstal or proximal end of the lower oesophageal sphincter and the mucosal junction are observed in Table IV.

4.   Motility of the ileal segment was measured by inserting a multilumen manometry catheter into the proximal end of the ileal segment.

5.   This allowed free passage of fluid in and out of the segment, confirmed by flushing the segment via a cannula in the proximal end.
