[Ultra-selective vagotomy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer. Report on the round table discussion (77th French Surgery Congress, 1975)].
This panel enables us to draw following conclusions on highly selective vagotomy for duodenal ulcer: --One fact seems to be sure: H.S.V. is a benign and efficient operation over short and average periods of time, providing that some technical requirements are observed. --However some points are still under discussion and much debated: --the useful purpose of per-operative tests; --the more or less frequent addition of drainage procedure. --Lastly, long-term anti-ulcerous efficiency (over 5 years) is still not known precisely; some think that the risk of vagal regeneration are greater after this type of vagotomy.
