    Proximal gastric vagotomy is a safe and effective surgical option for chronic duodenal ulcers, with a low recurrence rate and minimal adverse effects in short-term studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Peptic Ulcer Disease

    Background:

    • Chronic duodenal ulceration presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Surgical interventions have historically been employed for refractory cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of proximal gastric vagotomy for chronic duodenal ulceration.
    • To assess short-term outcomes including recurrence rates and postoperative complications.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 223 patients with chronic duodenal ulceration underwent proximal gastric vagotomy between 1973 and 1977.
    • Follow-up duration ranged from 6 to 78 months (mean 39 months).
    • Outcomes assessed included operative mortality, postoperative sequelae, and ulcer recurrence.

    Main Results:

    • No operative mortality was observed.
    • Adverse postoperative sequelae (delayed gastric emptying, dumping, diarrhea, reflux gastritis) occurred in less than 3% of patients.
    • Ulcer recurrence was noted in 11 patients (4.9%).

    Conclusions:

    • Proximal gastric vagotomy demonstrates effectiveness and safety for chronic duodenal ulcer treatment.
    • The procedure is a satisfactory short-term surgical option with a low complication rate.
