The article studies the remote results of vagotomy in treatment of 212 servicemen with ulcer of duodenum. Laboratory, endoscopic, roentgenological, pH-metric, manometric, radioimmunological and morphological researches were used before and after operations. From the point of view of prognostication 30 important criteria were selected to forecast the results of vagometry, and also to determine the groups for control examination. These data made it possible to prognosticate the right outcomes of treatment in 84.7% of cases, and thus individualize the treatment and prophylaxis of the prior disease and postvagotomy syndromes reducing their frequency. In the results of these measures the cases of invalidity and disability retirement of servicemen were diminished.
