[A technic of fundus vagotomy]
Journal De Chirurgie
|May 1, 1989
Abstract:
High recurrence rates after fundic vagotomy are mainly related to incomplete vagotomy at the level of abdominal oesophagus or antrum. 5-7 cm of oesophagus must be denudated and 6-7 cm of the antrum are left innervated, the most proximal branch of the "crow's foot" being divided. Finally, anterior and posterior peritonealized surfaces are approximated with fundoplicature around the oesophagus.
