A group of 31 patients with a variety of gastric ulcers were treated by vagotomy, biopsy, oversewing of bleeding points and a wide double pyloroplasty. On patient, a quadriplegic with multiple stress ulcers, rebled and had to undergo resection. He died a month later of progressive respiratory problems. A second quadriplegic died a month after a bleeding episode from myelitis and encephalitis resulting from a gunshot wound of the neck. He had no rebleeding. A third patient died two years after a gastric operation as a result of bronchial carcinoma. He had no recurrence of the ulcer problem. The remaining 28 patients were observed from six months to five years, an average of two and one-half years. There were no recurrences and only minimal untoward symptoms. It would appear that, for this period of observation, vagotomy with double pyloroplasty offers good treatment for patients with benign gastric ulcers.
