[The choice of the method of treatment and surgical intervention in the postvagotomy recurrence of ulcers].

Recurrent ulcers after vagotomy make their appearance mainly within the first 2 years after operation. Main causes of recurrences are: not complete vagotomy, disturbance of the motor-evacuatory function of the stomach and duodenum and their combination. Continuous rational antiulcer therapy is expedient for noncomplicated course of the recurrent ulcer. The method of reoperation must be chosen with reference to causes of the recidivation established by findings of special preoperative examinations and suboperative data.
