Abstract
A prospective randomized clinical study was carried out in 145 patients to compare
the effects of truncal and selective gastric vagotomy. Evaluation of results of vagotomy
have been at regular follow-up intervals from six to thirty months.
Selective gastric vagotomy appears to be significantly superior to truncal vagotomy
in achieving complete vagal denervation of the stomach. The clinical benefits of preserving
hepatic and celiac vagal innervation were not impressive.
