Effective of highly selective vagotomy upon the lower oesophageal sphincter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently highly selective vagotomy has been suggested as both a cause of gastro-oesophageal reflux and a potential cure. This study was designed to investigate whether this operation produced any change in the resting pressure or the length of the lower oesophageal sphincter in patients undergoing highly selective vagotomy. A group of patients undergoing truncal vagotomy and drainage were also studied for comparison. No alteration in the resting pressure or length of the lower oesophageal sphincter was noted after either operation. It is therefore unlikely that interference with the sphincter is responsible for post-vagotomy reflux.

Achalasia-like disturbance of oesophageal motility following truncal vagotomy and antrectomy.
Transient dysphagia has been described following truncal and selective vagotomy for peptic ulceration. There are considered to be 3 main aetiologies, namely haematoma, oesophagitis and lower oesophageal sphincter spasm. In the latter instance barium swallow may show the changes of achalasia, but previous reports have described either normal oesophageal manometry, or lower oesophageal sphincter ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Lower Oesophageal Sphincter Pressure
In 24 control patients the lower oesophageal sphincter responded to graded increments in intra-abdominal pressure by a significant and sustained rise in tone. This response was abolished by atropine and was also absent in nine of 11 patients who had previously undergone truncal vagotomy for duodenal ulcer but not in the remaining two who had recurrent ulceration. In six patients studied after p...
متن کاملThe effect of vagotomy on the human gastrooesophageal sphincter.
There have been reports of oesophageal reflux following operations performed for peptic ulcer (Clarke, Penry, and Ward, 1965; Windsor, 1964). Reflux has been noted after partial gastrectomy (Windsor, 1964) and also after vagotomy plus a gastric drainage procedure (Clarke et al, 1965). The operation of vagotomy plus gastric drainage could cause reflux oesophagitis to occur either through direct ...
متن کاملExperimental basis and clinical application of extended highly selective vagotomy for duodenal ulcer.
An ideal operation for a benign disease, such as duodenal ulcer, must be effective, relatively free of serious postoperative complications and standardized for effective performance. Highly selective vagotomy, an operation known to have few side effects, has not been adopted by many surgeons because of the concerns about postoperative recurrent ulcers, as well as by concerns about the technical...
متن کاملHuman lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation is associated with raised cyclic nucleotide content.
Increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate content accompany relaxation of isolated strips of opossum and canine lower oesophageal sphincter muscle. The aim of this investigation was to characterise these responses in isolated muscle from the human lower oesophageal sphincter. Electrical stimulation of enteric neurons produced a frequency dependent relaxation...
