[Results of truncal vagotomy in duodenal ulcer with disorders of cardial function].

Truncal vagotomy with draining measures was fulfilled in 70 patients with complicated duodenal ulcers. In 50 of them there was an insufficient cardial constrictor (in 26 patients--of light degree, in 20--of mild degree, in 4--of severe degree). Long-term results of the treatment of the disease were good in 68 patients, two patients had recurrences. Truncal vagotomy resulted in the improvement of the functional state of the cardial constrictor.
