    Two hundred patients undergoing vagotomy for duodenal ulceration over a period of forty-three months were randomly given Heineke-Mikulicz or Finney pyloroplasty. One died of a myocardial infarction twenty-four fhours after operation, six-teen died within seven years from conditions unrelated to surgery, nine were lost to follow-up study, and 174 were followed up an average of 5.2 years. These patients were evaluated for signs and symptoms of recurrent ulceration or complications of their operation. A majority underwent postoperative secretoay and gastric emptying studies. The proved rate of ulcer recurrence was higher in patients with Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty (4 per cent versus 2 per cent); however, over-all recurrence (proved, probable, and possible) was 13 per cent in each category. The dumping syndrome, seen in 14.4 per cent with Heineke-Mikulicz and 10.7 per cent with Finney pyloroplasty, was the most common complication...
