Is the vagotomy complete?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incomplete vagotomy is the single most common cause of ulcer recurrence. Completeness of vagotomy was assessed postoperatively in 17 patients using the congo red test. Various types of vagotomies included truncal vagotomy and gastrojejenostomy in 6, highly selective vagotomy in 5, truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in 3 and selective vagotomy with gastrojejenostomy in 3 cases. Congo red test was positive in 13 cases, with 9 of these showing evidence of incomplete vagotomy manifesting as erosions, duodenitis, stomal ulceration or ulcer recurrence.

The effect of vagotomy on gastric adaptation.
Gastric adaptation was impaired immediately after the performance of complete vagotomy in a series of 20 acute experiments in the dog. Preliminary isolation of the intact vagi in 10 of these animals produced alterations in adaptation similar to those seen after vagal division. It is concluded that alterations in gastric adaptation are not a reliable intraoperative aid to complete vagotomy. Thes...
متن کاملThe selective nerve stain leucomethylene blue as an intraoperative aid to achieving complete vagotomy.
The recently reported vagal nerve stain leucomethylene blue was assessed in 20 patients as an intraoperative aid to attaining complete vagotomy. Of 101 stained specimens removed at surgery, only 30 (30%) contained nerve tissue. Four of 17 postoperative insulin tests were positive by Hollander's criteria. The dye technique was found to be an unreliable method of ensuring complete vagotomy at the...
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 کاملDelayed gastric emptying after laparoscopic anterior highly selective and posterior truncal vagotomy.
We describe a case of gastroparesis after laparoscopic highly selective anterior and posterior truncal vagotomy in a 30-yr-old male with gastric ulcer disease. Motility studies confirmed the diagnosis, and a pancreatic polypeptide sham feeding study suggested that a complete vagotomy may have been inadvertently performed. The experience with this procedure in gastric ulcer disease is extremely ...

two cases of recurrent ulcer within a few months of H.S.V. in a small series, and 22% of Kronborg and Madsen's (1975) 50 patients developed recurrent ulceration within four years of H.S.V. The early postoperative insulin test, however, showed that 58% of Kronborg and Madsen's patients and 28% of those of Wastell et al., had incomplete vagotomy. Since there is a good correlation between insulin ...
