One hundred patients with duodenal or pyloric/prepyloric ulcer disease were operated with parietal cell vagotomy (PCV) and followed for a minimum of 10 years. At 6 weeks, 1,5 and 10 years postoperatively gastric secretory tests, haematological work-up and clinical examination or telephone interview were performed. There was no operative mortality and the frequency of postoperative sequelae was minimal. The cumulative ulcer recurrence rate was 18 per cent and another 14 per cent had slight to moderate symptoms of epigastric pain without any signs of ulcer. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was used to reveal recurrences but was performed only if the patient had symptoms of recurrence. A rise in basal acid secretion and in pentagastrin-stimulated secretion was observed the first year postoperatively, whereas insulin-stimulated peak acid output increased during the first 5 years. We conclude that PCV has a low rate of per- and postoperative complications and an acceptable recurrence rate. Therefore, it seems that PCV is the method of choice in chronic duodenal ulcer disease.
