EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY OF PYLORUS AND PYLORIC VAGUS PRESERVING GASTRECTOMY

In an attempt to prevent the sequelae of conventional gastrectomy, suc h as rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome, intestinal content refl ux, indigestion, and poor absorption, we have devised the pylorus and pyloric vagus preserving gastrectomy (PPVPG). Experimenting on 48 dogs , we found theoretic grounds for using our design and obtained the des ired effects-retaining the merits of conventional subtotal resection o f the stomach, with acidity reduction, while avoiding the above-mentio ned complications.
