Michael P.
Hocking
M.D. |
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Dr. Hocking's research interests have centered on GI motility and bariatric surgery. Specifically,
he has studied alterations in myoelectric activity and gastric emptying following various surgical procedures, particularly Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy, both in animal models, as well as in clinical studies.
Dr. Hocking has also studied the effect of electrical stimulation on gastroparesis in humans.
Dr. Hocking and his collegues have also looked at the effects of small bowel anastomoses on transit. Finally,
he has been interested in the pathophysiology and therapy of postoperative
ileus. Dr. Hocking and his research associates have studied a number of pharmacological interventions in animal models, and
he has consulted with various pharaceutical companies regarding potential clinical therapies and strategies.
With regards to bariatric surgery, Dr. Hocking has studied the long term results of jejunoileal bypass for obesity and
is also interested in the results of gastric bypass.
