Abstract
A type of gastrectomy which avoids difficult and dangerous duodenal dissection by
closure of the pylorus following excision of the antral mucosa is described. In dogs,
this closure was compared to both the standard duodenal stump closure and to Bancroft's
antral closure. The pyloric closure was equal in strength to the closure of normal
duodenum and was leak-proof. The Bancroft closure was considerably weaker and showed
leakage. The results in 16 clinical cases undergoing such a procedure and the advantages
of a safer and easier gastrectomy which avoids dissection of a scarred duodenum are
presented.
