Lesser curve necrosis following proximal cell vagotomy for gastric ulcer. A case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of avascular necrosis of the lesser curve of the stomach following a highly selective vagotomy (HSV) for a gastric ulcer is reported. It is fortunately rare, but is a frightening complication. The necrosis, which is presumably ischaemic in origin, is caused by total devascularization of the lesser curvature of the stomach. The complication is usually diagnosed late and has a considerable mortality.

Localized avascular necrosis of lesser curve of stomach complicating highly selective vagotomy.
The fourth case of localized avascular necrosis of the lesser curve of the stomach after highly selective vagotomy is reported. The pathogeneses was probably related to the relative poverty of the submucosal blood supply along the lesser curve. This complication may be prevented by peritonealizing the lesser curve before closing the abdominal wall.

A case of gastric cancer occurring seven years after a highly selective vagotomy is described. This operation may not be the appropriate choice for the surgical treatment of gastric ulcers and H2 blockers should be used with caution in these patients.
متن کاملFour-year to eight-year results of vagotomy and simple drainage for benign lesser curve gastric ulcer.
The results of vagotomy and simple drainage for recurrent benign lesser curve gastric ulcer are recorded. Seventy-two consecutive cases were treated from 1962 to 1965. The follow-up is therefore from five to eight years. In only two cases did the ulcer fail to heal and remain healed. Four years after operation both these had persistent ulceration and persistent gastric retention. Both have appa...
متن کاملMinimal access surgery--the renaissance of gastric surgery?
Peptic ulcer surgery has been revitalized by the introduction of minimal access techniques for surgery of chronic and perforated peptic ulcer. A wide range of vagotomies, including truncal vagotomy, anterior lesser curve seromyotomy with posterior truncal vagotomy and proximal gastric vagotomy, have been performed laparoscopically. Short-term (two-24 month) follow-up of laparoscopic anterior se...
متن کاملEffect of proximal gastric vagotomy on gastric acid secretion and plasma gastrin.
Sixteen patients underwent proximal gastric vagotomy (highly selective vagotomy) for chronic duodenal ulceration. All were subjected to preoperative and postoperative acid secretion studies. A reduction in the secretory response to pentagastrin and abolition of the response to meat extract occurred postoperatively. Plasma gastrin levels in response to meat extract were studied by radioimmunoass...
