Abstract

A prospective, randomized study of proximal gastric vagotomy without drainage (PGV) was done in 174 adult men with chronic duodenal ulcer intractable to medical therapy. PGV was randomized against truncal vagotomy with antrectomy (TV + A) and against selective gastric vagotomy with Finney pyloroplasty (SGV + P). Postgastrectomy sequelae (dumping, diarrhea and reflux gastritis) were less after PGV. One patient after PGV developed a recurrent ulcer as did one patient after SGV + P. Two patients developed gastric ulcers after PGV. Good to excellent results (Visick I and II) were obtained in 96% of patients with PGV, 94% with TV + A and 86% with SGV + P. Follow-up studies were from six months to four years.
