[Repeated surgeries after vagotomy in duodenal ulcers].
Experience of surgical treatment of 73 patients with different postvagotomic syndromes was analyzed. The recurrent ulcers were seen most often -- in 54 (74.0%) patients. All the patients have undergone selective proximal vagotomy including isolated surgery in 19 patients and in combination with different drainage surgeries in 54 patients. High gastric secretion was the cause of recurrent ulcers in all the cases. Resection of the stomach was the most often reconstructive surgery -- 58 (79.5%) patients. Three (4.1%) patients died. It is concluded that postvagotomic syndromes are severe diseases of operated stomach with difficult treatment, further studies are necessary.
