[Our experience with selective proximal vagotomy]. / La nostra esperienza in tema di vagotomia prossimale selettiva.

ABSTRACT

The authors show a casuistry of 125 operations of SPV, and comment on the clinical and physiopathologic presuppositions justifying the indications to SPV in the field of gastroduodenal peptic pathology. They report the results of the gastric probings, both basal and after stimulation with pentagastrin in the pre- and postoperative phase, and after a year. They face the problem of pyloroplastics, and appraise the elements indicating and contra-indicating it in association to SPV.
