BACKGROUND Results from classic highly selective vagotomy (HSV) are technique dependent because an incomplete operation will result in early recurrence of duodenal ulcer. Few reports describe laparoscopic completion of the procedure. All techniques use clips for division of neurovascular branches, making the laparoscopic approach tedious and thus the results, uncertain. METHODS Ten patients with intractable duodenal ulcer and negative Helicobacter pylori status underwent an extended HSV. All procedures were performed laparoscopically using a new surgical tool, the harmonic shears. RESULTS All procedures were completed laparoscopically and took approximately 1 h. There were no deaths and no postoperative complications. Patients were discharged the next day. Follow-up endoscopy at 2 months showed healing of duodenal ulcer in all cases, and postoperative acid secretion studies demonstrated a decrease in basal acid output (BAO) by 74% (8.2 meq/h to 2.16 meq/h) and maximal acid output (MAO) by pentagastrin stimulation by 79.2% (40 to 8.32). CONCLUSIONS Harmonic shears expedite laparoscopic HSV. The operation can be taught safely, yields good results in early follow-up, and represents an acceptable option in patients with intractable duodenal ulcers who are H. pylori negative.
