title: [Combined vagotomy in the surgical treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer].
abstract: Short-term and long-term results of surgical treatment of 487 patients with duodenal ulcer were studied. In 337 patients (69.2%) truncal vagotomy was performed; in 94 patients (19.3%)--combined vagotomy; in 56 patients (11.5%)--selective vagotomy. With no lethal outcomes, the frequency of general surgical complications was 5.6% which did not depend on the type of vagotomy. According to the Visick criteria long-term excellent and good results were noted after truncal vagotomy in 90.4% of the patients, after combined vagotomy--in 88% and after selective proximal vagotomy--in 70% of the patients. With the same frequency of recurrent ulcers, diarrhea and dumping-syndrome combined vagotomy has some advantages in recovery of the motor evacuating function as compared with truncal vagotomy; yielding in frequency of diarrhea it has better long-term results by the Visick criteria as compared with selective proximal vagotomy and less frequency of recurrent ulcers.
