Abstract Out of 415 patients with duodenal ulcer under-going vagotomy in the past 6 years, 198 truncal vagotomies (T.V.) and 217 selective vagotomies (S.V.) were performed. Of the 217 S. V. s, 134 cases had a total selective vagotomy of the stomach (preserving the pyloroduodenal nervous peduncle), and in 83 cases a proximal selective vagotomy was performed (preserving also the antral branches of the two principal nerves of the gastric lesser curve or Latarjet nerves). The authors prefer the name ‘acid-fundic selective vagotomy (A.F.S.V.) of the stomach’ for the latter procedure. In 89 of the patients having S.V. no gastric drainage procedure was performed; in 27 of these a total S.V. had been performed and in 62 cases an A.F.S.V. In patients undergoing S.V. without gastric drainage the clinical results and gastric emptying were fairly good in the cases with a total S.V. (follow-up time, 12 months), and very good in the cases with an A.F.S.V. (follow-up time, 6 months). Basal acid output (B.A.O.) and maximal (pentagastrin-stimulated) acid output (M.A.O.) were evaluated in those patients undergoing A.F.S.V. before and 10 days after operation. B.A.O. was reduced by 80.5 per cent and M.A.O. by 68.5 per cent. An insulin test performed 3 months after operation was negative in 80 per cent of cases (complete vagotomy); in the other cases the vagotomy was adequate. Clinical results, although after only a short follow-up, suggest that the procedure can be considered as the treatment of choice in most patients with an uncomplicated duodenal ulcer (76 per cent in our series). Gastric drainage is required only in cases of stenosing duodenal ulcer with delayed gastric emptying. Pyloroplasty is also mandatory in the treatment of bleeding ulcer and of perforated ulcer (if the suture is stenosing).
