[Effect of a drainage operation on gastric secretion in patients with duodenal ulcer after vagotomy].

The work analyzes alterations of gastric secretion in 687 patients subjected to various kinds of vagotomy in combination with or without draining operations on the stomach for ulcer of the duodenum. Draining operations were established to decrease activity of gastric secretion. The Jaboulay gastroduodenal anastomosis proved to be less beneficial since 50% of the patients had the positive insulin test and ulcer recurred almost in 11% of the cases. Results were most favorable after vagotomy in combination with pyloroplasty after Finney and Heineke-Mikulicz. The disease recurred after these interventions in 7 and 8% correspondingly.
