Abstract
Abstract
The results of antrectomy for recurrent ulcer after parietal cell vagotomy are reviewed. Eighteen patients underwent precise antrectomy between 6 months and 7 years after their primary operation. Fourteen patients were reconstructed with a gastroduodenostomy and 4 with a gastrojejunostomy. Eighteen patients were available for follow-up of between 18 months and 10 years. One patient (6·25 per cent) developed a recurrent ulcer 1 year after antrectomy. There was no operative mortality. Six patients (33 per cent) had minor complications in the immediate postoperative period, and one (5·5 per cent) had a major complication. According to Visick grading, 75 per cent had good or excellent results and 25 per cent poor results. Antrectomy following parietal cell vagotomy can be achieved with a low operative mortality, a low ulcer recurrence rate and a satisfactorily low incidence of post-gastrectomy problems.
