1.	Duodenal Ulcer (Curling's Ulcer) 03/01/1996 - "Truncal vagotomy and gastrojejunostomy still remains the best option in the surgical management of chronic duodenal ulcer. " 05/01/1999 - "Videoendoscopic truncal vagotomy seems to be an alternative treatment regimen for the management of chronic duodenal ulcer in a group of selected patients, as a simple, surgeon independent and efficient procedure. " 11/01/1996 - "Truncal vagotomy by videothoracoscopy as a simple, surgeon independent and efficient procedure seems to be an alternative treatment regimen for the management of chronic duodenal ulcer in a group of selected patients. " 12/01/1994 - "The efficacy of truncal vagotomy combined with pyloroplasty has been studied in 56 patients, divided into the following groups: Group I-29 patients submitted to bilateral truncal vagotomy (BTV) and pyloroplasty, as the method of treatment to solve the problem of perforated duodenal ulcer (initial and retrospective phase of study). " 08/01/1983 - "Randomized trial of truncal vagotomy with either pyloroplasty or pyloric dilatation in the surgical management of chronic duodenal ulcer."
2.	Ulcer 01/01/1995 - "The best results were produced (Visick I-II) in patients after selective proximal vagotomy with excision of the ulcer from the gastric lumen (in 93%), the results were poorer in selective proximal vagotomy with wedge resection of the stomach and in truncal vagotomy with excision of the ulcer or wedge resection of the stomach (only in 20%, 38%, and 30% of patients, respectively). " 01/01/1979 - "As between the various forms of operation, truncal vagotomy and antrectomy and subtotal gastrectomy demonstrated significantly better protection against proven recurrent ulcer than did truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty (p less than 0.05). " 07/01/1988 - "Both truncal vagotomy alone and truncal vagotomy + pyloroplasty were effective in maintaining the blood flow during stress and preventing the development of ulcers, however, these effects were more notable in the truncal vagotomy + pyloroplasty animals. " 03/01/1984 - "Posterior truncal vagotomy and anterior curve superficial seromyotomy as an alternative for the surgical management of chronic ulcer of the duodenum." 12/01/1984 - "This study was undertaken to compare with previously published findings in normal subjects and subjects after truncal vagotomy and antrectomy the effects of nonresective ulcer surgery on (a) gastric emptying, grinding, and sieving of solid food and on (b) pancreatic and biliary secretions. "

" 01/01/2013 - "She underwent antrectomy with truncal vagotomy due to 3cm×4cm prepyloric gastric ulcer. " 01/01/2012 - "A 48-year-old patient with a BMI of 34.6 kg/m(2) underwent a laparoscopic truncal vagotomy, subtotal gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy for intractable gastric ulcers. "
4.	Hemorrhage 07/01/2005 - "Truncal vagotomy and drainage was performed in 78.64% of the patients, simple closure for perforation in 29.5%, partial gastrectomy for 4.1% while the remaining 2.4% had underunning of a bleeding vessel. " 01/01/2001 - "If it fails, the operation of choice is thought to be suturing the source of bleeding supplemented with truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty." 06/01/1994 - "The surgical procedures performed were truncal vagotomy and drainage (12), oversewing of a perforation or a bleeding vessel (6), gastrectomy (2), intestinal resection (14), laparotomy only (14), cholecystectomy (14), and other (11). " 02/01/1984 - "Truncal vagotomy was performed on all patients except in five with intractability, 19 with hemorrhage, two with perforation, and 17 with obstruction. " 02/01/1979 - "Our experience suggests that truncal vagotomy is necessary to control the bleeding in these patients. "

Weight Loss (Weight Reduction) 08/01/2011 - "This study aimed primarily to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adding truncal vagotomy to LAGB and to compare the weight loss with that of LAGB alone. " 01/01/2021 - "49 patients underwent truncal vagotomy with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding in an IRB (Investigational Review Board)-approved clinical trial to determine if the addition of a vagotomy would increase achieved weight loss when compared to gastric banding alone. " 11/01/2015 - "Forty-nine patients underwent truncal vagotomy with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding in an Investigational Review Board approved clinical trial to determine whether the addition of a vagotomy would increase weight loss when compared to gastric banding alone. " 08/01/2011 - "Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with truncal vagotomy: any increased weight loss?" 03/01/2011 - "The patient underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and truncal vagotomy at years of age, which resulted in initial, but not long-term weight loss.
