[Functional disorders and work capacity after selective proximal vagotomy in duodenal ulcer]

Remote results within the terms of from 1 to 3 years in 60 patients and the working ability in 73 patients subjected to selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) or SPV with drainage of the stomach were studied. Functional disorders were observed much more rarely after the isolated SPV. The use of benzohexasonium and electrostitmulation of the stomach in the early postoperative period allows preventing the development of functional disorders. The SPV ensures an early recovery of the working ability.
