Late mortality after vagotomy and drainage for duodenal ulcer.
Seven hundred and thirty five patients who underwent elective vagotomy and drainage procedures in one hospital during 1957-67 were followed up until 1 September 1982. At this time 281 were dead compared with an expected 184. This gives a ratio of observed to expected deaths of 1.53 (p less than 0.0001). The most important cause of increased mortality was lung cancer, which accounted for 33 of t...
متن کاملVagotomy and peptic ulcer.
SIR,-A man aged 40 was admitted in July 1967 with a reducible right inguinal hernia and an undescended left testis. The right testis, normal in size and consistency, was present in the scrotum. Exploration of the right inguinal canal revealed a completely patent processus vaginalis with the testis inside the sac. On applying traction to the testis, an oval mass, apparently intra-abdominal, was ...
متن کاملNine cases of gastric ulcer after vagotomy and drainage for duodenal ulcer.
Gastric ulceration was recognized as an occasional complication of vagotomy soon after Dragstedt championed the operation for the treatment of duodenal ulceration (Dragstedt and Owens, 1943). Gastric atony and antral stasis were to be expected after vagotomy without adequate drainage of the gastric contents and it was perhaps not surprising that a number of patients should have developed lesser...
متن کاملThe influence of the individual surgeon and of the type of vagotomy upon the insulin test after vagotomy.
Six hundred and seventy-six insulin tests performed in the early postoperative period after vagotomy and drainage for duodenal ulcer were analysed by the criteria of Hollander. Consultants had done 364 vagotomies, of which 17.6% were shown to be incomplete. Registrars and senior registrars had done 312, of which 12.2% were incomplete. Thus, consultants may not be significantly better, on averag...
متن کاملTransgastric 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...
