  • Title: Lesser curve disconnection using a stapling device: highly selective vagotomy made quicker and easier.
    Author: Hooper TL, Macfoy D, Magell J.
    Journal: Br J Surg; 1985 Mar; 72(3):175-6. PubMed ID: 3978369.
    Abstract:
    A stapling device has been used to disconnect the lesser curve of the stomach during highly selective vagotomy in a consecutive series of ten patients. This modification renders the operation technically easier and quicker to perform. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all patients, and in the subsequent follow-up period of 7-15 months, no problems relating to the technique were encountered.
