  • Title: Billroth I gastric resection versus truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty in the treatment of gastric ulcer.
    Author: Madsen P, Kronborg O, Hansen OH, Pedersen T.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1976; 142(2):151-3. PubMed ID: 779383.
    Abstract:
    Forty-five patients with benign gastric ulcers were treated by truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty or Billroth I gastric resection in a randomized, controlled trial. Postoperatively, one Billroth I patient died. During the follow-up recurrence occurred in three patients treated by vagotomy, but in no Billroth I patient. The overall functional results according to the classification of Visick were slightly, but unsignificantly better after Billroth I than after vagotomy and pyloroplasty.
