[A comparative study of complications after vagotomy-pyloroplasty using Sugiura-Futagawa procedure and surgery of acid peptic disease].
BACKGROUND
The frequency of complications of vagotomy and pyloroplasty for treating peptic disease is considerable. The modification of the Sugiura-Futagawa procedure includes bilateral truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty as part of the devascularization, with a low frequency of related complications.


OBJECTIVE
To study the effects after VP in the outcome of both groups of patients.


RESULTS
The results of a retrospective, comparative, not randomized, controlled trial of 153 medical records of patients who underwent our modification of the Sugiura-Futagawa operation (SFO) due to Hemorrhagic Portal Hypertension (HPH), and 100 patients with bilateral truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty (VP) due to Acid-Peptic Disease (APD) are presented. In both groups VP was done. The first group as part of SFO, and the second to treat their disease. We found 47 complications; 40 (40%) were observed in patients who underwent VP for APD and 7 (4%) in SFO: Post-vagotomy Diarrhea (PVD): 11% after APD and 2% after SFO. Dumping Syndrome (DS): 22% and 1%, and Alkaline Reflux Gastritis (ARG): 7% and 0.5% respectively. The calculated risk of developing complications related to vagotomy and pyloroplasty in peptic ulcer disease was 14 times higher.


CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of these post VP complications at the SFO group was low (4%), in relation to 40% for the APD; the outcomes were statistically significative (p < 0.05).
