  • Title: Gastric lesser curve superficial seromyotomy: an experimental study in dogs.
    Author: Goyal J, Sharma BD, Pant MC, Singh V.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1984; 69(1):85-7. PubMed ID: 6735636.
    Abstract:
    Lesser curve superficial myotomy has been investigated in the dog. The anatomical basis for the operation is discussed. The operation has the advantage of being easily performed and the risk of damage to the nerve of Latarjet or ischemic necrosis of the lesser curvature is obviated. Acid studies in the dogs confirmed that the operation was capable of producing secretory inhibition in keeping with vagotomy of the parietal cell area. The experiment needs further investigation in animals and in man, for assessment of the potential of the operation to replace other forms of vagotomy in patients with duodenal ulcer.
