Colonic motility

Abstract

I do not intend, in the few minutes I have, to try to review all the information of recent years bearing on the matter of motility in the colon. There is not enough time. Similarly, I cannot presume to summarize a large body of data to give you an overall picture of colonic motility. There is not enough information. Thus, I find myself in a strange position, with not enough time to give you all the information, and not enough information to give you a complete picture. But this characterizes the current state of the subject. I can only use the available time to point out to you some of the problems that have so hampered the study of motility in the colon.
