An easier method for identification of the antral nerves for a simplified proximal gastric vagotomy.
A practical method of easily identifying the antral nerves for marking the boundary between the antrum and the parietal cell bearing proximal stomach is suggested. This has reduced the operative time, simplified PGV and proved to be clinically effective in 79 patients who underwent operation.
