Surgical treatment at combination of duodenal ulcers with reflux-esophagitis

Selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) was performed at 352 patients with duodenal ulcer (DU), 213 of them had reflux-esophagitis (RE). SPV was performed with correcting cardia function operations at all the patients (including ones without RE). It is demonstrated that SPV at combination of RE with DU is safe but effective surgical method and permits to achieve complete recovery from both diseases. SPV is radical if indications are correct and surgical technical requirements are fulfilled.
