[Use of less invasive techniques in surgical treatment of dumping syndrome].

Abstract

Aiming to minimize the surgical trauma and interventional risks of treatment, as well as to reach the most precise visualization and safe separation of the n. vagus, in order to increase the efficacy of truncal vagotomy during correction of severe post-gastric-resection dumping syndrome we have developed the new method of thoracoscopic supradiafragmal vagotomy. The suggested method of bilateral thoracoscopic supradiafragmal truncal vagotomy allows to decrease the surgical intervention trauma, and the risk of post operative complications, as well as to better the immediate and remote results of treatment of the dumping syndrome.
