[Results of vagotomy]

The authors present the clinical results of 558 patients, with peptic ulcer vagotomised between January 1966 and December 1977. Characteristic intraoperative and early postoperative complications of vagotomy were more frequent in the beginning. Best results were obtained by vagotomy and antrectomy or by vagotomy and pyloroplasty. Comparing the clinical results of vagotomy and partial gastrectomy (Billroth II) the authors found no significant difference.
