[A 12-year retrospective study of 114 cases of proximal gastric vagotomy].
We present 114 cases of proximal gastric vagotomy (VGP), performed between December 1975 an December 1986 (11 years) and followed-up until December 1987 (12 years). An hundred patients underwent elective surgery and 14 emergency. We obtained good results in 97 patients (85.83%) moderate in 10 (8.85%) and poor in six (5.30%) with one mortality (0.87%) due to causes not related to the operation. We emphasize the surgical indication and technique, which, if correctly established, make proximal gastric vagotomy the ideal surgical intervention for gastroduodenal ulcer.
