[Value of intraoperative pH-metry for predicting and preventing recurrences of duodenal ulcers after vagotomy].

Abstract

The authors studied the results of intragastric pH measurement before, during, and after vagotomy in 75 patients with duodenal ulcer. It was established that intraoperative pH measurement, carried out by an improved procedure, provided for objective control over complete and adequate vagotomy, made it possible to predict the risk of ulcer recurrence in the postoperative period and, in accordance with that, to choose the methods for its prevention.
