  • Title: Progress in gastric surgery for morbid obesity.
    Author: Sorrell VF.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1981 Nov 25; 94(696):369-71. PubMed ID: 6948203.
    Abstract:
    Since 1974, 70 morbidly obese patients who had failed to respond to conservative management have been treated by gastric surgery. Results of treatment are described. Important developments in the programme included more satisfactory weight loss resulting from standardisation of pouch and stoma size, and a decrease in morbidity resulting from better case selection and the use of the gastric stapler during the bypass procedure.
