[Electrostimulation test for intraoperative vagotomy control. Results of a prospective randomized study].
In a prospective random trial the intraoperative electro-stimulation test of Burge and Vane was conducted with 100 patients, in whom selective proximal vagotomy was performed for a duodenal ulcer. In 6 out of 50 patients histologically proved nerve fibres were found by the applying of the test. The postoperative acid values did not differ significantly between those patients who underwent the electrostimulation test and those who did not. The rate of recurrence was 8% in both groups 2-4 years after the operation. Obviously, the application of the test did not have any effect on the results.
