Propanthelene as an agent for medical vagotomy.

The aim of any operation for chronic duodenal ulcer is to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, sufficiently to allow the ulcer to heal. Complete division of the vagi usually satisfies this criterion, but in some the reduction obtained, as measured by the augmented histamine test (Kay, 1953), may only be small (Sircus and Small, 1964). The patients in whom an adequate reduction is ...

Effect of medical and surgical vagotomy on intrinsic factor secretion.

Selective vagotomy without drainage. An interim report.

The results of surgical treatment for duodenal ulcer were compared in two groups of patients-51 who had undergone selective vagotomy without drainage and 17 who had had selective vagotomy and pyloroplasty. It is suggested that in the absence of organic pyloric or duodenal stenosis the former method seems both preferable and desirable, since postoperativley dumping does not occur and there is a ...

Transgastric vagotomy with selective proximal vagotomy for duodenal ulcer.

To improve surgical results of duodenal ulcer, transgastric myotomy (TGM) was added to the traditional selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) and its efficacy was evaluated clinically in 40 patients. 35 men and 5 women were involved, with a mean age of 33.07 +/- 14.25 years. Pyloroplasty was added in 12 operations for stenosis and perforation. 28 patients in this series underwent TGM with SPV withou...
