Title: Highly selective vagotomy. A closer look at the technique. Author: Hooks VH. Journal: Am Surg; 1983 Oct; 49(10):517-22. PubMed ID: 6678541. Abstract: It is becoming apparent that the results (and especially recurrence rates) with highly selective vagotomy (HSV) vary considerably. Furthermore, the techniques utilized vary considerably as well. Interestingly, most series with higher recurrence rates have shown these trends relatively early on. The author presents a more detailed look at a technique of HSV associated with one of the lowest recurrence rates over a long follow-up period.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
