This consists of "pyloroplasty," or widening the gate valve between stomach and duodenum by slitting its muscular ring, or "sphincter" (fourth diagram). The tissue is stretched, then the slit is closed at right angles.

The resulting currents are so minute that they have to be enormously amplified to work an artificial limb...
