[The direction and motivation for an evolution in methods of antiulcer surgery]
Abstract:
A 23-year retroactive analysis of a heterogeneous series of observations with unfavourable tardy results after antiulcer surgeries showed that the most failures requiring a second surgery appear after large resections with gastrojejunal or gastroduodenal anastomosis and after vagotomies associated with gastric drainage. The most favourable tardy results followed the vagotomy associated with limited gastric resection (hemigastrectomy). This kind of intervention prevents the appearance of the ulcerous relapses and lowers significantly the incidence of the other type of post-surgical iatrogenic complications. The optimal protection against the ulcerous relapse given by vagotomy associated with hemigastrectomy permits a tactical adaptation of the intervention to the lesional and physiopathological characteristics of each case.
