[Results of a series of 100 highly selective vagotomies for duodenal ulcer (follow up of 6 months to 5 years) (author's transl)].

The authors analyse a series of 100 highly selective vagotomies for duodenal ulcer; 92 operated patients were followed up for 6 months to 5 years. The mortality was nil, the digestive sequelae were rare or mild. The recurrence rate was 4.4 p. cent and the proportion of good or very good results according to Visick's classification was 87 p. cent. The authors emphasise the necessity for broad dissection of the cardia for complete vagotomy.
