  • Title: [Predictive value of preoperative acidity tests in ulcer recurrence after supraselective vagotomy].
    Author: Corman J, Smeesters C, Beaudoin M, Cartier R, Hurtubise M, Gélinas C, Baillargeon J, Emond M, Caussignac Y.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1983 Jul; 26(4):348-50. PubMed ID: 6861028.
    Abstract:
    The authors have analysed the predictive value of the basal and peak gastric acidity levels, measured preoperatively, in a series of 27 supraselective vagotomies. They recommend care in the choice of this operation for hypersecretors and they propose criteria for the preoperative selection of the candidates. They suggest determination of the preoperative basal gastric acidity level and a cimetidine suppression test to identify patients at high risk for recurrence of the ulcer.
