Longmeier-Dogliotti Operation

The Longmire-Dogliotti procedure is a surgical procedure that was developed and first performed in the 1950s by two surgeons, William P. Longmire and Alfredo M. Dogliotti. This surgery is used to treat stomach cancer and other tumors in the area.

Longmeier and Doggliotti were colleagues and worked together at a clinic in New York. They noticed that many patients with stomach cancer had metastases to the liver and lungs, making their treatment very difficult. They decided to develop a new operation that would remove the tumor and metastases at the same time.

To do this, they used a special tool that they called a “coronal knife.” This tool allowed them to cut through the tumor and surrounding tissue, as well as remove metastases. They could then remove any remaining cancer cells and prevent the tumor from spreading to other organs.

The Longmeyer-Dogliotti operation has become very popular among surgeons and patients. It has significantly improved the results of treatment of stomach cancer and reduced mortality from this disease. Today, this operation is widely used throughout the world and continues to be one of the most effective treatments for stomach cancer.

Longmeyer-Doglietti surgery in medicine is a surgical method for treating diseases of the pancreas. It was developed in the late 20th century by Italian surgeon Alfredo Doglietti (as well as surgeon William Long Meyer) and became famous for its effectiveness in treating complex forms of pancreatic tumors (such as insulin-dependent pancreatitis).

Longmire surgery is surgery of the pancreas, which is based on the complete removal of the affected tissue with subsequent restoration of the integrity of the affected organ. This surgery can be performed either endoscopically or openly, depending on the patient's condition and the extent of the tumor.

However, despite its high efficiency, this operation has a number of significant disadvantages, such as the highly traumatic nature of the procedure (the operation is performed through a large incision in the abdominal cavity), and a long recovery period after surgery. In addition, there are possible complications such as bleeding, infection, etc., which can cause deterioration in the patient’s health. There is also a risk of developing late complications such as digestive disorders, pancreatic dysfunction, etc.

In order to minimize these negative factors, surgeons have developed an alternative surgical method called the Longmeyer-Dogliosi operation.

Longmier Dolistche surgery is a minimally invasive method of treating pancreatic cancer by creating an artificial duct for the gland between the mouth and the duodenum, connecting the intestines with the stomach. As a result of the operation, the pancreas functions as the distal part of the intestine, passing food from the stomach to the intestines. This method is becoming an alternative treatment for distal pancreatitis and pancreatitis with high blood sugar levels. Its advantages are less trauma, reduced length of hospital stay, the possibility of quick recovery and a lower risk of postoperative complications than with classic Longmarine surgery.
