[Gastric resection with preservation of the pylorus with a variant of pyloroplasty].

The authors present the case of a female patient with gastric ulcer of the small curvature of the stomach who showed a particular neuropsychical lability, in whom emergency surgery was performed before it was possible to obtain data concerning the behaviour of the gastric acidity. In an attempt to avoid the postoperative dumping syndrome the authors performed a medio-fastric resection, removing the area with the ulcer and maintaining the antro-pylorus. For the obtention of a good drainage of the remaining stomach a variant of the pyloroplastia technique was associated.
