  • Title: [Proximal gastric vagotomy - an interim balance].
    Author: Siewert R, Müller C.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1981 Aug; 52(8):511-8. PubMed ID: 7273928.
    Abstract:
    As a result of recent trials and meetings, the results of proximal gastric Vagotomy (PGV) can now be judged with more certainty: the rate of recurrence is higher than after partial gastrectomy or recurrence is higher than after partial gastrectomy or combined procedures, but mortality is low and sequelae are rare. Errors of indication with regard to pyloric and prepyloric ulcers and inadequate denervation because of inaccurate surgical technique are the main causes of recurrence. Recurrent ulcers after PGV usually have good prognosis.
