    This review of 59 patients found that abdominal revagotomy is superior to transthoracic procedures for recurrent peptic ulcers. Gastro-enterostomy drainage also provides longer symptom relief after incomplete vagotomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research

    Background:

    • Recurrent peptic ulceration can occur after incomplete vagotomy.
    • Surgical intervention is often required to address persistent symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different surgical approaches for recurrent peptic ulceration following incomplete vagotomy.
    • To identify factors influencing outcomes and recommend optimal treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of 59 patients undergoing surgical revision for recurrent peptic ulceration after incomplete vagotomy.
    • Procedures included transthoracic and abdominal revagotomy, with some patients also undergoing antrectomy.
    • Analysis of operative findings, including nerve trunk integrity, and early positive insulin response.

    Main Results:

    • Abdominal revagotomy yielded superior results compared to transthoracic revagotomy (P = 0.0015).
    • Gastro-enterostomy provided longer symptomatic relief than pyloroplasty (P < 0.01).
    • Intact posterior nerve trunks were common findings; their presence correlated with early positive insulin response.

    Conclusions:

    • Transabdominal revagotomy alone is recommended as a conservative and effective treatment for recurrent ulceration after incomplete vagotomy.
    • While revagotomy with antrectomy shows comparable results, the less invasive approach is preferred.
    • Surgical approach and drainage method significantly impact patient outcomes.
