title: [Laparoscopic parietal cell vagotomy. Preliminary results].
abstract: The results from 11 laparoscopic parietal cell vagotomies are presented. The procedure could be carried out in all patients. The median day of discharge after the procedure was day 1 (range 1-16), median convalescence time 7 (range 4-50) days. One patient required re-operation due to a perforation at the lesser curvature. This complication is ascribed to the learning phase. If a sufficient reduction in gastric acid secretion can be documented in a larger series of patients, laparoscopic parietal cell vagotomy should be considered a serious alternative to conservative treatment.
