    Summary

    Surgery for peptic ulcers in the post-cimetidine era shows good outcomes, with parietal cell vagotomy having a 5% recurrence rate. Overall results were satisfactory for most patients, though less so for women.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Outcomes Research

    Background:

    • The advent of cimetidine altered the management of peptic ulcer disease.
    • Assessing surgical outcomes in the current therapeutic landscape is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of surgical interventions for peptic ulcer disease in the post-cimetidine era.
    • To analyze recurrence rates and patient satisfaction across different surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study over five years.
    • Inclusion of 125 patients undergoing various surgical procedures: parietal cell vagotomy, vagotomy and drainage, Billroth I gastrectomy, Billroth II gastrectomy, and vagotomy and antrectomy.
    • Data collection on postoperative outcomes, recurrence, and sequelae.

    Main Results:

    • No postoperative deaths reported.
    • Overall satisfactory outcomes in 92 patients (73.6%).
    • Recurrent ulceration occurred in 8% of patients; parietal cell vagotomy had a 5% recurrence rate, with no gender difference in recurrence but less satisfactory outcomes in women.
    • No significant difference in recurrence based on prior medical therapy response.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of peptic ulcer disease remains a viable option with acceptable outcomes in the post-cimetidine era.
    • Parietal cell vagotomy demonstrates a low recurrence rate, although patient satisfaction may vary.
    • Further research into optimizing surgical outcomes and addressing gender-specific results is warranted.
