[Personal experience with vagotomy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer]
Abstract:
Truncal vagotomy was employed in 120 cases of simple or complicated duodenal ulcer. Pyloroplasty was also performed in 98 cases, antroduodenostomy in 5, Billroth I or II in 12, and gastrojejunostomy in 5. No operative deaths were noted, even though the series included emergency situations and patients in poor condition. The incidence of complications and immediate sequelae was insignificant. Follow-up for 2-6 yr showed complete success in over 91%, with partial improvement in 3.8%. Poor results included 3 cases of recurrence, 1 of late scar stenosis on the pyloroplasty site, and 1 of intermittent gastroplegia.

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.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
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.
Peptic Ulcer Disease IV: Management
The therapeutic approach involves ensuring adequate rest, implementing drug therapy, promoting smoking cessation, making dietary modifications, and emphasizing long-term follow-up care.
