From study of the results of treatment of 157 patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer by an individual approach to the choice of the operative methods according to the results of prognostic tests, the authors revealed a high practical significance of using cholinolytics for diagnostic purposes. The choice of the method of surgical treatment with due regard for the prognostic evaluation of the effect of vagotomy on the gastric motor and acid-producing functions determined a 8.4% reduction of the frequency of postoperative motor-and emptying complications of gastric activity, and a 6.8% reduction of the incidence of recurrent ulcer.
