    Summary

    Selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) shows promising early results for treating chronic duodenal ulcers. This surgical approach had a 5% recurrence rate and manageable gastric retention in a preliminary trial.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic duodenal ulcers represent a significant gastrointestinal condition requiring effective surgical management.
    • Selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) is a surgical technique explored for treating peptic ulcer disease.
    • The role of SPV, with or without pyloroplasty, in the contemporary surgical armamentarium for duodenal ulcers warrants further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report early outcomes from a prospective clinical trial evaluating selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) for chronic duodenal ulcers.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of SPV, with or without concomitant pyloroplasty, in a preliminary patient series.
    • To determine the feasibility of continuing the trial to further evaluate SPV's role in duodenal ulcer surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective clinical trial involving 41 patients with diagnoses including chronic duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, and hemorrhagic gastritis.
    • Surgical intervention involved selective proximal vagotomy (SPV), with or without pyloroplasty.
    • Patient follow-up averaged 18 months to monitor for recurrence and postoperative complications.

    Main Results:

    • Of 41 patients, 39 had chronic duodenal ulcers. Two patients (5%) experienced recurrent duodenal ulcers, both with confirmed incomplete vagotomy.
    • Two additional patients developed postoperative gastric retention.
    • All symptomatic patients in this series underwent SPV without pyloroplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • Early results suggest selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) is a promising surgical option for chronic duodenal ulcers.
    • The observed recurrence and complication rates support the continuation of this clinical trial.
    • Further investigation is warranted to definitively establish the role of SPV in the surgical treatment of duodenal ulcer disease.
