[Treatment of duodenal ulcer by posterior trunk vagotomy and anterior fundic seromyotomy under video-laparoscopy. Preliminary note with presentation of a film].

Posterior vagotomy associated with anterior fundic seromyotomy, as proposed by Taylor in 1979 and widely used since then, has been performed under video laparoscopic monitoring in 6 patients with inveterate chronic duodenal ulcer. The procedure described here produced no complications in the immediate postoperative period and early progress in the controlled healing of the ulcer and the reduction of acidity, which can be compared to those of the same procedure with laparotomy.
