Official Title: Efficacy of a Low Volume of Water Intake and Mosapride for Endoscopy Preparation in Gastric Cancer Patients With Subtotal Gastrectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief Summary: A low volume of water intake and mosapride will effectively reduce food residue in remnant stomach for patients who had undergone subtotal gastrectomy due to gastric cancer.

Detailed Summary: We evaluate that a 500mL of water intake and mosapride will effectively reduce food residue in remnant stomach for patients who had undergone subtotal gastrectomy due to gastric cancer. We plan to compare this method with routine midnight fasting method for endoscopy in patients with subtotal gastrectomy.

Current Primary Outcome: Degrees of food residue using endoscopic scoring system [ Time Frame: six months ]

We plan to evaluate how much a low volume of water and mosapride, compared with routine fasting, reduse food residue in gastric remnant for endoscopy.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Tolerability of a low volume of water and mosapride [ Time Frame: six months ]

We plan to evaluate tolerability of a low volume of water and mosapride compared with routine fasting for endoscopy preparation in patients with subtotal gastrectomy


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
