PERFORATION OF THE ANASTOMOTIC LINE POST-TRUNCAL VAGOTOMY AND GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY

Aspects of Nutrition after Vagotomy and Gastrojejunostomy.

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 ...

Pancreatic exocrine function after truncal and highly selective vagotomy.

We have measured plasma glucose and immunoreactive trypsin concentrations and serum pancreatic amylase activities in single blood samples following truncal vagotomy (TV) in 13 patients and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) in 14 patients. Our results show that an increased incidence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency occurs postoperatively regardless of the type of vagotomy. Glucose concentrati...

Bile acid and lysolecithin concentrations in the stomach in patients with duodenal ulcer before operation and after treatment by highly selective vagotomy, partial gastrectomy, or truncal vagotomy and drainage.

Duodenogastric reflux of bile acids and lysolecithin in the course of a standard test meal was measured in normal people and in patients with duodenal ulcer before operation and more than one year after highly selective vagotomy, Polya partial gastrectomy, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty, and truncal vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy. Before operation, duodenal ulcer patients had significantly h...

Peptic Ulcer Disease and Thoracoscopic Left Truncal Vagotomy

BACKGROUND This study illustrates our experience in treating duodenal ulcer by means of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy over a period of six years. MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 1991 to October 1998, we submitted 38 patients (31 males and 7 females), average age 51 years (range 22-78 years), with duodenal ulcer to vagotomy with minimally invasive access: 23 Hill-Barkers, 2 Taylors, 9 thorac...
