[Gastrectomy preserving pylorus and pyloric vagus].

Abstract

Gastrectomy preserving pylorus and pyloric vagus was done in 32 cases to preventing complications caused by conventional gastric resection. This operation, similar to Billroth I (B-I) and Billroth II (B-II) in reducing acidity, was effective in preventing reflux and dumping syndrome. But the results of this operation were better than those of B-I and B-II according to postoperative gastric emptying test, fat and protein digestion, gastric biopsy, body weight, and patients' general conditions.
