Abstract

In an attempt to prevent the sequelae of conventional gastrectomy, such as rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome, intestinal content reflux, 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 desired effects-retaining the merits of conventional subtotal resection of the stomach, with acidity reduction, while avoiding the above-mentioned complications.

Résumé

Dans le but de prévenir les séquelles de la gastrectomie traditionnelle, telles que la vidange gastrique précoce, le dumping, le reflux rétrograde du contenu intestinal, d'autres perturbations diverses de la fonction digestive et notamment de l'absorption, une technique de résection gastrique conservant le pylore ainsi que son innervation est décrite. Après expérimentation chez 48 chiens, nous présentons les bases théoriques et les avantages d'une telle résection gastrique évitant les complications mentionnées, tout en conservant les qualités d'une réduction d'acidité.

Resumen

Con el propósito de prevenir en cuanto sea posible las secuelas de la gastrectomía convencional, taies como vaciamiento rápido del estómago, síndrome de dumping, reflujo del contenido intestinal, indigestión y mala absorción, y otras complicaciones indeseables, hemos diseñado la presente gastrectomía conservadora del píloro y del vago pilórico. Mediante experimentación en 48 perros, pudimos hallar los fundamentos teóricos de nuestra propuesta operación y obtener los efectos deseadosretener los méritos de la resección subtotal convencional del estómago y la reducción de ácido, pero evitando las complicaciones mencionadas.
