Technique of extensive proximal selective vagotomy.
Based on the experience of 727 operations, the technique of proximal selective vagotomy used by the authors is reviewed in stages. They consider pyloroplasty justified to perform only in complicated cases (bleeding, perforation, stenosis) for preventing complications. Based on their results (mortality rate: 0.68%, recurrences: 6.3%, excellent or good results: 90%), they argue for the operation.
