Interventions
Gastric bypass with transection of vagal nerves
Vagal nerve interruption above the level of the stomach is a known treatment for complicated peptic ulcer disease. It is not commonly performed during routine gastric bypass. The vagi are, however, interrupted part-way down the stomach to create the gastric pouch. This is the pars flaccida technique.
Gastric bypass without transection of vagal nerves
Dissection between the neurovascular bundle and the stomach, spareing the vagus nerves. This is the perigastric technique.
