Abstrakt: In this prospective study, minimally invasive methods of proximal gastric vagotomy (PGV) were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Completeness of vagotomy by traditional operative therapy, by laser denervation of the gastric serosa, and by subserosal or transmucosal injections of chemoneurolytic agents was evaluated with postoperative Congo red testing, ulcerogenic stimulation of the gastric mucosa, and histochemical labeling of whatever vagal fibers remained in the gastric wall. Short-term results demonstrate that successful PGV can be performed with minimally invasive methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
