01/01/1988 - "Thus basal and stimulated acid output is normal in most ulcer patients, and this is also so for gastric and duodenal pH. Gastric acid secretion does not separate patients with rapid recurrence after medical treatment from those with a long period of remission, and acid secretion is usually not higher in patients with recurrence after vagotomy than in patients without relapse. "
04/22/1977 - "We found the best results after the so-called step-like resection, which is preferable to selective vagotomy with excision of the ulcer and pyloroplasty because of the special conditions of the secretion of gastric juice in the case of high ulcers. "
12/01/1990 - "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."
07/01/1983 - "When remedial surgery for recurrent ulcer consisted of vagotomy and distal subtotal gastrectomy (35 patients) after previous vagotomy and drainage procedure (21 patients), subtotal gastrectomy (three patients), vagotomy and hemigastrectomy (eight patients), or gastroenterostomy alone (three patients), there were no operative deaths, 74% of 27 patients available for at least a 5-year follow-up had excellent or good results, and rerecurrent ulceration developed in only one patient. "
06/01/2014 - "For patients with perforated ulcers, vagotomy/drainage produced similar outcomes as local procedures but required a significantly greater length of postoperative hospitalization. "
