  • Title: [Long-term clinical results after highly selective vagotomy plus pylorus-preserved mucosal antrectomy].
    Author: Yu P, Wang D, Cai Z, Wen Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2002 Sep; 40(9):650-2. PubMed ID: 12411131.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the long-term clinical results of 34 chronic duodenal ulcer patients treated with high selective vagotomy plus pylorus-preserved mucosal antrectomy (HSV + PPMA). METHODS: Clinical follow-up results of the patients from 8 approximately 14 years were analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty-tow patients (94.1%) followed-up for 8 approximately 14 years after operation achieved Visick grades I-II. No patient died. Gastric acid secretion and infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in the antral mucosa were significantly reduced after operation. No significant difference was found in bile acids, total bacterial counts in gastric juice, and the level of serum gastrin after operation. Gastric emptying was normal. No ulcer recurrence was found by barium meal and endoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: HSV + PPMA is a better operative treatment for duodenal ulcer, which not only can decrease acid secretion and ulcer recurrence rate but also can preserve the function of antrum and pylorus and prevent post-operation bile reflux and intragastric bacterial overgrowth.
