Parietal cell vagotomy: Experience with 114 patients with prepyloric or duodenal ulcer
World Journal of Surgery1982Vol. 6(5), pp. 596–601
Abstract
Abstract A review of 114 patients following parietal cell vagotomy (PCV) is presented, showing a satisfactory result in duodenal ulcer patients (recurrence rate, 5.8%; Visick grade III and IV, 16%) but unsatisfactory results in patients with prepyloric or combined duodenal and gastric ulcers (recurrence rate, 44%; Visick grade III and IV, 62%). We conclude that parietal cell vagotomy is an excellent operation for duodenal ulcer, but it is unsatisfactory when there is evidence of past or present gastric ulceration .
