[Comparative assessment of truncal and selective vagotomy combined with gastric drainage in the treatment of duodenal ulcer].

Comparative estimation of trunk and selective vagotomy associated with stomach drainage operations in treatment of duodenal ulcer revealed no essential advantages of selective vagotomy in comparison with trunk one. At the same time, technically trunk vagotomy is a more simple procedure and a more reliable one in relation to ulcer cure. The question concerning high-risk of calculi formation in the gallbladder after trunk vagotomy in females is unsolved yet and needs further studies.
