  • Title: Mucous antrectomy associated with vagotomy in duodenal ulcer.
    Author: Tinoco RC, Figueira SE, Freire PC.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1982; 67(1):37-40. PubMed ID: 7096000.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the present surgical procedure for duodenal ulcer; this consists of vagotomy in association with resection of the antral mucosa, and sliding the fundus mucosa to cover the naked surface. The gastroduodenal junction is sewn as an enlarged Weimberg pyloroplasty. A series of 20 patients were operated upon, without complications, from 1972 to 1976. It is concluded that this technique has advantages over pyloroplasty: it has a low rate of morbidity and the safety of classical antrectomy, without its inconveniences.
