  • Title: Parietal cell vagotomy and omentopexy as definitive surgery for perforated duodenal ulcer.
    Author: Krausz MM, Berlatzky J, Lebensart P, Manny J.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1977 Apr; 62(4):226-8. PubMed ID: 873708.
    Abstract:
    We recommend a definitive procedure as initial management for acute perforated duodenal ulcer. In the two patients herein reported, the parietal cell vagotomy with omentopexy and without drainage was performed as a definitive procedure for perforated duodenal ulcer. No wound infection, dumping symptoms or diarrhea occurred in the early postoperative period. Gastrointestinal follow-up study in one patient showed normal passage. These early favorable results with minimal morbidity encourage us to broaden the indications for definitive operation for acute perforation.
