Selective mucosectomy - a method of surgical treatment of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer

Abstract

Selective mucosectomy is proposed, in which the mucous membrane of the lesser curvature of the stomach is removed, followed by sutures covering the demucosated surface. A functional study of the stomach revealed a stable reduction of the secretory potential, as well as the normalization of its motor-evacuation function, which contributes to the healing of the ulcer. Due to its low trauma, the operation can be used in surgical practice, especially in cases where organ resection or intervention on the nerve plexus is undesirable.
