title: [Our experiences in the treatment of bleeding duodenal ulcer by means of proximal gastric vagotomy].
abstract: Gastric Vagotomies were performed on fifty four patients suffering from bleeding Duodenal Ulcers. Forty-three cases were operated on following a spontaneous cease in hemorrhaging, and necessary examinations. The remaining eleven patients were opereted on immediately as conservative measures would not be able to stop the bleeding. The procedure used following the admittance of a patient with a bleeding ulcer to the hospital was discussed. A detailed explanation of the technical procedure used in handing the bleeding duodenal ulcer was also presented. The authors believe that a Duodenotomy performed without cutting the pylorus has its advantages inasmuch as hemostasis has been successfully accomplished. All the cases had good clinical results, however, bleeding did recur in a few instances. There were no recidive ocurrences. Ever though many patients were chronically ill ie; Diabetes Mellitus, Myocardiopathia, secondary anemia, exitus lethalis did not occur. P.V.G. in the treatment of bleeding ulcers has a definte advantage over the other radical procedures.
