[Immediate and late results of selective proximal vagotomy in pyloroduodenal ulcers].

Selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) was performed in 435 patients whose age ranged from 16 to 80. The isolated variant of SPV was applied in 130 and SPV with a stomach draining operation was conducted in 305 patients; 320 patients were examined after the operation in follow-up periods of 7 years and more. Postoperative lethality was 0.6%. A recurrent ulcer was revealed in 4.3% of patients. The causes of the recurrence are indicated. The results were found to be excellent and good in 76%, satisfactory in 16.9%, and poor in 7.1% of the examined patients.
