Gastric ulcer and conservative surgery vagus resection and Finney's pyloroplasty

Surgical treatment of gastric ulcers, controlled comparison of billroth-i gastrectomy and vagotomy and pyloroplasty

“…The recurrent ulcer rate, after vagotomy, in the present study (14.3 per cent) is higher than most reports (Hendry and Bahrani, 1965;Kraft, Fry, and Ransom, 1966;Burge, 1966;McNeill and others, 1969), but less than the 36 per cent reported by Stemmer, Zahn, Hom, and Connolly (1968). It is not significantly different from the incidence of 2.4 per cent found in our Billroth-I group, which is much nearer the usual figure quoted in the literature for this operation (Walters, Lynn, and Mobley, 1957;Harvey, 1961;Stemmer and others, 1968).…”

“…ENCOURAGING reports of the use of vagotomy and pyloroplasty in the surgical treatment of gastric ulcer (Hendry and Bahrani, 1965;Burge, 1966;Farris and Smith, 1966;McNeill, McAdam, and Hutchison, 1969) have led to the procedure being put forward as a routine treatment, instead of being used for a difficult high lesser-curve ulcer, as was originally suggested. The results so far recorded have been similar to those previously achieved with Billroth-I gastrectomy, and we have been pursuing a randomized controlled comparison of the two procedures since 1964 (Duthie and Smith, 1968;Duthie and Bardsley, 1969).…”

Vagotomy and Pyloroplasty for Gastric Ulcer

“…Successful treatment of gastric ulcers by vagotomy and pyloroplasty has been reported by several authors (Hendry and Bahrani, 1965;Farris and Smith, 1966;Burge, 1966;McNeill et al, 1969). Forrest (1969) reviewed the literature and concluded that the overall results were not as good as those of Billroth I gastrectomy.…”

Four-year to Eight-year Results of Vagotomy and Simple Drainage for Benign Lesser Curve Gastric Ulcer

“…A study of the first 72 supports this hypothesis and whether or not it is true, there is certainly sufficient evidence to suggest that vagotomy and simple drainage is the correct treatment for benign lesser curve gastric ulcer. Several centres have published their findings and the results of this operation for benign lesser curve gastric ulcer (Hendry, 1961;Hendry and Al Bahrani, 1965;Burge, 1966;Kennedy and George, 1967;De Miguel, 1968;McNeill et al, 1969). Each centre seems to have obtained very much the same results.…”
