Absorption studies after gastrojejunostomy with and without vagotomy

Absorption Studies after Gastrojejunostomy with and without Vagotomy.

Of the various procedures used in the treatment of duodenal ulcer, subtotal gastrectomy has been studied most extensively from the point of view of resulting metabolic disturbance (Butler, 1961; Stammers and Williams, 1963). The alternative procedures, vagotomy combined with gastrojejunostomy, pyloroplasty, or antrectomy, are now coming under the same scrutiny, and it is hoped that the results ...

Aspects of Nutrition after Vagotomy and Gastrojejunostomy.

Blood changes eight years after vagotomy with gastrojejunostomy compared with those after polya partial gastrectomy.

Changes in gastric mucosa after vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy for duodenal ulcer.

Gastric mucosa was studied histologically in 141 patients. Eighty two had undergone vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy between 15 and 25 years previously for duodenal ulcer, and 59 control patients had a long history (minimum 15 years) of duodenal ulcer treated medically. No carcinoma was found in either group. Two patients with severe dysplasia and 13 patients with moderate dysplasia were found in...

Selective proximal vagotomy with and without pyloroplasty.

The early results of a prospective randomized clinical trial of selective proximal vagotomy with and without gastric drainage in a total of 36 patients are reported. In spite of adequate average acid reduction and little evidence of gastric retention two definite recurrent ulcers have occurred in the 16 patients who did not have a pyloroplasty. Further trials of the effect of selective proximal...
