selective vagotomy (SV) and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) cannot be performed through the thoracic approach. (medscape.com)
Highly selective vagotomy refers to denervation of only those branches supplying the lower esophagus and stomach (leaving the nerve of Latarjet in place to ensure the emptying function of the stomach remains intact). (wikipedia.org)

Lithium fluxes across the gastric mucosa after truncal vagotomy and drainage--an objective assessment of mucosal injury. (bmj.com)
Gastric mucosal permeability to lithium has been measured in 20 patients with an untreated duodenal ulcer, eight patients who were asymptomatic for more than one year after truncal vagotomy and drainage, 14 patients with an endoscopically proven recurrent ulcer, and 21 patients with an unsatisfactory result from truncal vagotomy and drainage for other reasons. (bmj.com)
Lithium fluxes were lowest in the asymptomatic postoperative patients (0.149 +/- 0.028 mmol Li+/15 min), but were not significantly different to the measured fluxes in patients with a duodenal ulcer before treatment (0.160 +/- 0.020 mmol Li+/15 min) or a recurrent ulcer after truncal vagotomy and drainage (0.169 +/- 0.022 mmol Li+/15 min) (SEM).

Gastrointestinal bezoars are a relatively common clinical reality ever since the introduction of truncal vagotomy associated with drainage of gastric resection in the treatment of gastroduodenal peptic ulcer [4]. (who.int)
All types of vagotomy can be performed at open surgery (laparotomy) or using minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy). (wikipedia.org)
When the researchers analyzed the results for the two different types of vagotomy surgery, they found that people who had a truncal vagotomy at least five years earlier were less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those who had not had the surgery and had been followed for at least five years.

Procedure2
Scientists have discovered more new evidence that Parkinson's could possibly start in the gut before it spreads to the brain, as they observed lower rates of the disease in patients who had undergone a procedure called a truncal vagotomy . (thinkinghumanity.com)
Thoracoscopic truncal vagotomy(TTV) may be a safer alternative with decreased operative times. (sages.org)
CONCLUSIONS - Our results demonstrate that thoracoscopic vagotomy may be a better alternative with decreased operative times and similar effectiveness. (sages.org)
Gastric surgery1
The thoracic approach to vagotomy is best suited for patients who have had previous vagotomy or gastric surgery where adhesions are likely to be present in the abdomen. (medscape.com)
Stomach5
PURPOSE:To evaluate morphological changes of the gastric stump and not resected stomach mucosa after the completion of truncal vagotomy.METHODS:Eighty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: CT, TV, RY and RYTV. (unesp.br)
Neoplastic or preneoplastic lesions were not diagnosed in all groups.CONCLUSION:Truncal vagotomy is a safe and non-carcinogenic method in not resected and partially resected stomach. (unesp.br)
A plain vagotomy eliminates the parasympathetic supply from the stomach to the left side of the transverse colon. (wikipedia.org)
For the management of PUD, vagotomy is sometimes combined with antrectomy (removal of the distal half of the stomach) to reduce the rate of recurrence. (wikipedia.org)
Vagotomy was a way to reduce the acidity of the stomach, by denervating the parietal cells that produce acid. (wikipedia.org)
The lower 6-7 cm of the esophagus is cleared of all nerve trunks in order to complete the vagotomy. (medscape.com)
2 Moreover, epidemiologic studies found a protective effect of truncal vagotomy against PD, and thus findings suggest the contribution of the vagal nerve to PD pathogenesis in human subjects. (movementdisorders.org)
Surgery1
After adjusting for factors such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, arthritis and other conditions, the researchers found that people who had a truncal vagotomy at least five years before were 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those who had not had the surgery and had been followed for at least five years.

In a presentation here at the 20th International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, researchers led by PhD student Bojing Liu of the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm drew upon the Swedish National Patient Register to conduct a matched cohort study comparing 9840 patients who underwent vagotomy between 1970 and 2010 with reference patients who did not have vagotomy (n = 378,840). (medscape.com)
Researchers out of Sweden reviewed patients that underwent truncal vagotomy (a surgical procedure that functionally disconnects multiple abdominal organs by cutting the vagus nerve supply to them) and found a decreased risk of developing Parkinson's disease compared to controls. (blogspot.com)
The thoracic approach (thoracotomy or thoracoscopy) to vagotomy is best suited for patients who have had previous vagotomy or gastric surgery where adhesions are likely to be present in the abdomen. (medscape.com)
Patients1
Patients were followed from the date of vagotomy to PD diagnosis, death, emigration, or the end of 2010, whichever occurred first. (medscape.com)
Chronic2
This suggests that nicotinic synapses and the intramural NO pathway in the gastric myenteric plexus are involved in the mediation of gastric relaxation following chronic vagotomy. (bl.it)
Administration of rabbit VIP antiserum also had no effect on the accommodation reflex in rats with a chronic vagotomy (i.e. (bl.it)
Findings1
The authors concluded that an inverse association of truncal vagotomy and PD risk existed after 5 years but that larger samples should be used or pooled analyses should be done to verify these findings because only a limited number of vagotomies were included in this study. (medscape.com)
Management1
Some have suggested that thoracoscopic TV may be useful for management of recalcitrant marginal ulcer after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. (medscape.com)
Greater1
At greater than 10 years, the association of truncal vagotomy and lower PD risk showed the same trend but was not significant. (medscape.com)
Risk1
They did not see a clear association of vagotomy and PD risk overall. (medscape.com)
