Summary

This study introduces a novel laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy using a CO2 laser in dogs. This minimally invasive technique proved effective and faster than traditional surgery, with no complications observed.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Highly selective vagotomy is a standard treatment for peptic ulcers.
  • Conventional vagotomy can be performed via laparotomy or laparoscopy.
  • Exploring novel techniques to improve efficacy and reduce invasiveness is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and evaluate a modified laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy using CO2 laser in a canine model.
  • To assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • Determined optimal CO2 laser dosage based on gross and histologic findings.
  • Performed anterior CO2 laser vagotomy with posterior truncal vagotomy laparoscopically (lap-laser vagotomy) in five dogs.

  • Performed anterior selective vagotomy with posterior truncal vagotomy via laparotomy (open surgical vagotomy) in five dogs for comparison.

    • Main Results:

    • Lap-laser vagotomy showed no complications, including gastric perforation.
    • Operating time for lap-laser vagotomy was approximately 50% shorter than open surgical vagotomy.
    • Both groups exhibited significant and sustained reduction in acid secretion for 6 months post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Anterior CO2 laser vagotomy with posterior truncal vagotomy is a safe and effective alternative to conventional vagotomy.
    • The laparoscopic approach is easier to perform and reduces operative time.
    • This technique is recommended as a method for laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy.
