The case records of 38 patients operated for recurrent ulcer following partial gastrectomy were examined. They all underwent a transthoracic vagotomy. Two patients died during follow-up, one because of a gastro-intestinal bleeding 14 days after operation and one following a psychiatric disorder (vital depression) three months after his second intervention. According to Visick's grading overall results are very good in 89%, moderate in 5.5% and disappointing in 5.5%. These figures indicate that transthoracic vagotomy is the treatment of choice for recurrent ulceration after partial gastrectomy.
