[One hundred cases of highly selective vagotomy without pyloroplasty for duodenal ulcer, with a follow-up of 4 to 8 years (author's transl)].

The authors relate about a pilot series of 100 controlled cases of duodenal ulcer, operated by means of a highly selective vagotomy without pyloroplasty. These patients, all followed during a mean period of 5 1/2 years, showed a recurrent ulcer rate of 5%. Literature studies indicate that, when one wants to improve the results of this operation, it is necessary to avoid a pyloroduodenal stenosis and to clear completely the esophagus over the distal 5 to 7 cm. The pH-measurements during operation seem to be of accessory importance. The duodenal ulcers with and without hypersecretion can be operated by means of a highly selective vagotomy with equal chances of healing.
