ABSTRACT
A randomised controlled clinical trial was carried out on sixty patients with chronic duodenal ulcer. Twenty patients were allocated to one of three types of vagotomy. Proximal gastric vagotomy [PGV]; truhcal vagotomy with gastro-jejenosto my [TV + GJ] and selective vagotomy with gastrojejenostcmy [SV + GJ]. Proximal gastric vagotomy [PGV] was found to be as effective as TV and SV in reducing basal acid output [BAO] and peak acid output [PAO] to a safe level which was found to remain low after 24 months follow-up with no recurrent ulceration. Post-vagotomy complications and complications attributed to loss of the antropyloroduodenal emptying system were reduced significantly
