The authors use parietal cell vagotomy as a routine procedure associated with the Nissen fundoplicature in the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux. The advantages of parietal cell vagotomy evaluated in 14 patients were: lower acid secretion without necessity of drainage; best exposure of the gastro-oesophageal junction from the right side without any surgical risk to the spleen; lengthening of the abdominal oesophagus and mild or no sequelae from the parietal cell vagotomy.
