gastric outlet obstruction

what is the term used to describe the vagus nerve branching below the esophageal plexus?

anterior nerve of laterjet branches

transection of the anterior vagus trunk during truncal vagotomy can result in

chronic duodenal ulcers
gastric outlet obstruction

Operation in which the pylorus is removed in addition to the antrum and the proximal stomach is anastomosed directly on the duodenum

Billroth I

Truncal vagotomy, distal gastrectomy/antrectomy, anastomosis to distal duodenum and removal of pyloris. (gastroduodenostomy)

Billroth I

Greater curvature of stomach connected to first part of jejunum in side to side anastamosis-->gastrojejunostomy
