Truncal vagotomy with pylorectomy (TV + P) is effective for duodenal ulcers, with low recurrent ulcer rates. However, postvagotomy diarrhea (PVD) affects nearly a quarter of patients, sometimes exacerbated by bowel disease.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Truncal vagotomy and pylorectomy (TV + P) is a surgical approach for duodenal ulcers.
  • Assessing long-term outcomes and complications of TV + P is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and complication rates of truncal vagotomy and anterior pylorectomy (TV + P) for duodenal ulcers.
  • To identify factors associated with unsatisfactory outcomes, particularly postvagotomy diarrhea (PVD).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 148 patients undergoing TV + P.
  • Median follow-up of 5.0 years.
  • Analysis of recurrent ulcer rates and postvagotomy diarrhea (PVD) incidence and severity.

Main Results:

  • Recurrent ulcer rates were 4.1% (suspected) and 3.4% (proven).
  • Postvagotomy diarrhea (PVD) occurred in 24.3% of patients, with some cases severe (Visick IV).
  • Associated bowel disease was significantly more frequent in the PVD group (P = 0.014).

Conclusions:

  • TV + P is an effective surgical treatment for duodenal ulcers.
  • Postvagotomy diarrhea (PVD) is a notable complication, and associated bowel disorders may predict its occurrence or severity.
  • While effective, TV + P outcomes can be occasionally compromised by severe PVD, similar to TV and pyloroplasty.
