[New methods of vagotomy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer]

The experience to use in the treatment of duodenal ulcer disease the new methods of vagotomy: selective distal antral cellular vagotomy (SDAV) and selective distal vagotomy with pyloroplasty (SDV) is substantiated. By means of these operations, the suppression of phase II of gastric secretion is achieved due to denervation of gastrin-producing antral portion of the stomach. The results of experimental studies in 15 dogs, and the results of treatment of 37 patients with duodenal ulcer disease caused by the increased production at phase II of alimentation are presented. SDAV was performed in 20 patients, SDV--in 17. A result of treatment was studied in 34 patients at the period of up to 3 years. A pronounced acid inhibiting effect of the new methods of vagotomy was noted. No ulcer recurrence was revealed.
