[Clinical, radiologic and endoscopic aspects of duodenoplasty].

The authors performed the selective proximal vagotomy in combination with the ulcer excision and duodenoplasty in 233 patients in complicated forms of duodenal ulcer disease. The clear indications for this type of intervention have been established. The high effectiveness of the pylorus-preserving operations is noted. Improvement of the techniques for local removal of an ulcer is a reserve for improving the results.
