A method of selective proximal vagotomy has been developed experimentally. It provides additional parasympathetic denervation of an acid-producing zone of the stomach by means of circular transsection of gastric and esophageal muscular membranes above and below cardial sphincter with forming of are flux esophageal-gastric valve. Clinical use of this method in 75 patients confirmed experimental data about a good function of the created valve and adequate decrease of acid production.
