P Marceau, and P Trolliet, and R A Bourque, and W Lou, and P Piché, and J McManus

Hyperselective vagotomy is a relatively recent surgical procedure used for the treatment of duodenal ulcer. We report excellent results in 98 consecutive patients during the last four years. After a mean follow-up period of 2.2 years, the results, according to the classification of Visick, are excellent in a large number of patients. There was a significant gain in body weight in a majority of the patients. The recurrence rate for an ulcer is only 4.5 per cent. There is a significant reduction of basal acid output of 63 per cent, maximal acid output of 46.8 per cent and postinsulin acid output of 73.7 per cent.
