  • Title: Emergency vagotomy and pyloroplasty for perforated duodenal ulcer: study of 73 cases.
    Author: Machayya MG.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1968 Oct 19; 4(5624):155-6. PubMed ID: 5681051.
    Abstract:
    Seventy-three unselected patients with perforated duodenal ulcer were treated by vagotomy and pyloroplasty in a six-year period. Postoperative complications were commoner when the operation was carried out after more than six hours after perforation. The follow-up results were similar to those for elective vagotomy and pyloroplasty carried out in the hospital during the past nine years.
