Laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy is a safe and effective procedure for treating duodenal ulcers, offering a brief hospital stay and comparable results to open surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Peptic ulcer disease, particularly duodenal ulcers, remains a significant clinical challenge.
  • Surgical interventions aim to reduce gastric acid secretion, with vagotomy being a key approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (LHSV) for duodenal and prepyloric ulcers.
  • To assess postoperative complications, recovery time, and ulcer healing rates following LHSV.

Main Methods:

  • Laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy (anterior and posterior) was performed on 11 patients with duodenal or combined duodenal and prepyloric ulcers.
  • Pre- and postoperative endoscopic examinations were conducted to assess ulcer healing and monitor for recurrence.
  • Patient outcomes, including operating time, hospital stay, and need for postoperative analgesia, were recorded.

Main Results:

  • No perioperative complications were observed in the 11 patients.
  • The average operating time was 3.2 hours, and the average hospital stay was 1.7 days.
  • All ulcers healed postoperatively, with one recurrence at 9 months successfully treated medically. No other long-term morbidity was reported.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic highly selective vagotomy is a feasible and safe surgical option for duodenal ulcers.
  • The procedure is associated with a brief hospital stay and excellent short-term healing rates.
  • LHSV demonstrates comparable outcomes to traditional open surgical methods for managing peptic ulcer disease.
