    Reoperation for recurrent peptic ulceration using vagotomy and antrectomy resulted in poor outcomes, with 37% of patients remaining in severe symptom grades (III and IV) after multiple procedures. Alternative treatments for recurrent ulcers need investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Recurrent peptic ulceration poses a significant challenge after initial treatment.
    • Reoperation is often considered for persistent or severe cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of reoperation for recurrent peptic ulceration.
    • To assess the effectiveness of vagotomy and antrectomy in managing these cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 38 patients who underwent reoperation for peptic ulcer recurrence.
    • All patients were initially classified as Visick grade IV.
    • Follow-up was conducted for at least 3 years post-reoperation.

    Main Results:

    • No operative deaths occurred.

  • After reoperation with vagotomy and antrectomy, 17 patients (45%) remained in Visick grades III and IV.
  • A total of 14 patients (37%) experienced persistent severe symptoms (Visick grades III and IV) after 47 procedures across the 38 patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Vagotomy and antrectomy for recurrent peptic ulceration is associated with a high rate of persistent symptoms and morbidity.
    • The effectiveness of this surgical approach for recurrent ulcers is limited.
    • Further research into alternative treatment modalities for recurrent peptic ulceration is warranted.
