    Superselective vagotomy without drainage effectively treats intractable duodenal ulcers, showing excellent short-term clinical outcomes and reduced gastric acidity. Long-term results are promising, with only one recurrence reported in this patient series.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Intractable duodenal ulcers pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Vagotomy is a surgical approach to reduce gastric acid secretion.
    • Optimizing vagotomy techniques is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of superselective vagotomy without drainage for intractable duodenal ulcers.
    • To assess the impact of this surgical technique on gastric acid secretion and clinical symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of twelve patients with intractable duodenal ulcers.
    • Surgical intervention included superselective vagotomy without drainage (11 patients) or selective vagotomy with pyloroplasty (1 patient).

  • Peroperative gastric acidity control using pentagastrin stimulation was performed to identify and section residual nerve fibers.

    • Main Results:

    • Short-term follow-up (2-6 months) demonstrated excellent clinical status (Visick I and II) in all patients.
    • Basal gastric acidity decreased by 58-66% post-operation.
    • Hollander tests were negative in most cases, indicating successful vagal denervation, with only one recurrence noted after more than six months.

    Conclusions:

    • Superselective vagotomy without drainage appears to be a safe and effective treatment for intractable duodenal ulcers.
    • The technique achieves significant reduction in gastric acidity and provides excellent short-term clinical results.
    • Further long-term studies are warranted, but initial findings suggest sustained efficacy.
