The work is based on the results of analysis of clinical material concerning patients who were treated by operation for duodenal ulcer 3-5 years earlier. Truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty (TV + P) was performed in 166 and selective proximal vagotomy with pyloroplasty (SPV + P) in 195 patients. The authors found the long-term results to be similar in both groups and did not reveal any advantages of SPV + P over TV + P, in view of which they do not find it necessary in principle to decline from conducting TV + P at the present time.
