Abstract: | In a prospective, randomized trial, selective proximal vagotomy with complete ulcer excision was compared with partial gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy for the treatment of primary corporeal gastric ulcer in 30 patients. The results were evaluated by clinical follow-up examinations at regular intervals, endoscopy, and blood tests. The mean follow-up period was 3 years for both operations. There was no mortality. Postoperative complications, ulcer recurrence rates, the overall clinical results (Visick classification), and blood test results were similar in the two groups. Three of 15 selective proximal vagotomy patients were classified grade IV due to recurrent ulcer (two patients) or dumping (1 patient), and 2 of 14 partial gastrectomy patients as were classified grades III (epigastric pain) and IV (recurrent ulcer). Considering the risk for late symptoms of impaired resorption and gastric cancer after partial gastrectomy, the similar results with selective proximal vagotomy and partial gastrectomy justify further trials of selective proximal vagotomy with ulcer excision for treatment of corporeal gastric ulcer. |
