[Efficacy of hyperselective vagotomy on duodenal ulcer. 284 cases].

Two hundred and eighty-four patients who underwent highly selective vagotomy for duodenal or prepyloric ulcer were followed up for at least 1 year, and 47.9% of them for at least 5 years (mean : 58 months). The actuarial recurrence rates were 4.7% at 3 years, 9.6% at 5 years and 13.1% at 7 years. These results do not agree with the recently published figure of 20%. The authors insist on the necessity to dissect the lower oesophagus on a length of at least 5 cm. In duodenal ulcers, this technical detail should result in a cure rate of about 90% at 5 years.

[Horizontal laparotomy in biliary tract surgery].

For operations on the biliary tract the transverse horizontal incision has the same advantages as the subcostal approach: strong abdominal wall, little influence on ventilation and wide access to the subhepatic region. But in addition, the abdominal wall nerves are preserved as much as possible, post-operative evisceration, it is occurs, can easily be repaired and subsequent surgery can be performed using the same route.

[Effects of cholecystectomy on functional signs associated with cholelithiasis].

Two hundred hospital patients with gallstones who had been cholecystectomized on account of typical biliary colics were investigated for migraine, headache, malaise, vertigo, flatulence, diarrhoea or constipation 2, 6, 12 and 24 months after the operation. The study showed that these symptoms are common in patients with biliary lithiasis, particularly women, and that their frequency increases with the duration of the disease. The beneficial effects of cholecystectomy are uncertain and appear to decrease with time ; only 30% of the patients seemed to improve after surgery. It is concluded that these symptoms betray real functional disorders, that cholecystectomy is not the appropriate treatment for them and that any improvement observed may be credited to the placebo effects of the operation.
