[Vagotomy with high-frequency electromagnetic waves in surgical treatment in duodenal peptic ulcer]
Abstract:
Technical complexity and highly traumatic character of selective proximal vagotomy in all its modifications are considered to be the main causes of the postvagotomy complications. Experimental investigations in 38 mongrel dogs allowed the authors to develop and introduce into practice a new method of seromuscular proximal vagotomy with using radio waves. The selective destructive effect of the radio waves on the nerve tissues, evidenced by morphological investigations was taken into consideration and allowed the destruction of the vagus nerve branches in deep layers of the gastric wall to be performed. This method of vagotomy was used in 46 patients with ulcer disease of the duodenum and gave good results. When studying the functional state of the stomach and duodenum the authors widely used their modification of rheography of the gastric blood flow controlled by fibrogastroduodenoscopy in addition to routine methods of the functional diagnostics.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
