    Author: Oliveira FJ, Furtado E, Mourão E, Oliveira F.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1991; 45(6):484-9. PubMed ID: 1929164.
    Abstract:
    An original technique for supra-pyloric gastrectomy with preservation of sphincter function of the pylorus was performed in a series of 26 patients with benign ulcer of the lesser curvature. The results were evaluated 3-10 years after the operation. Twenty-five patients obtained a satisfactory results (visick grades I or II). The rate of gastric emptying was tested with a meal labelled with TC 99 in 17 patients. Only one patient suffered from gastric stasis. It is concluded that supra-pyloric gastrectomy with preservation of the pylorus has a place in the treatment of benign ulcers of the lesser curvature.
