Four-year to eight-year results of vagotomy and simple drainage for benign lesser curve gastric ulcer.

The results of vagotomy and simple drainage for recurrent benign lesser curve gastric ulcer are recorded. Seventy-two consecutive cases were treated from 1962 to 1965. The follow-up is therefore from five to eight years. In only two cases did the ulcer fail to heal and remain healed. Four years after operation both these had persistent ulceration and persistent gastric retention. Both have apparently been cured by gastrojejunostomy done to improve gastric drainage.

Selective vagotomy without drainage. An interim report.

The results of surgical treatment for duodenal ulcer were compared in two groups of patients-51 who had undergone selective vagotomy without drainage and 17 who had had selective vagotomy and pyloroplasty. It is suggested that in the absence of organic pyloric or duodenal stenosis the former method seems both preferable and desirable, since postoperativley dumping does not occur and there is a steady improvement in gastric emptying.
