Lesser curve necrosis following selective proximal vagotomy--a case report. 1984

A Takaki, and H Yoshino, and R Ohkuma, and K Ohsato

A case of the lesser curve necrosis following selective proximal vagotomy for a perforated duodenal ulcer is reported. Although little is known of this very rare complication, it is potentially a fatal complication after selective proximal vagotomy. Early recognition and immediate reoperation must be save the life of the patient when this complication is suspected.
