[Recurrent ulcer following vagotomy: completion of vagotomy or resection (author's transl)].
An adequate therapy must be directed towards the cause of the recurrent ulcer. This is incomplete vagotomy in most cases, more seldom a hypergastrinemia with stasis in the antrum after insufficient drainage, in hyperparathyroidism, in hyperplasia of the antral G cells or in gastrinoma. After confirmation of the diagnosis by endoscopy, a causal diagnosis must therefore be made which includes secretion analysis and determination of the gastrin profile (feeding test, glucagon provocation test, secretion or calcium infusion). Criteria for evaluation and clinical conclusiveness are shown in examples. The indication scheme, whether revagotomy alone, resection alone or the combination of the two corrective operations should be performed is determined according to these criteria. So far, 41 patients have been operated on with good results in accordance with this graduated indication.
