Wylie, Jr, MD** DURING the past several decades, there have been changes in the surgical treatment of peptic ulcer.

During the past duodenal ulcer disease. 20 years, the extensive subtotal gastric resection has nearly disappeared from the surgical scene and vagotomy with pyloroplasty has been popular.

  • Thoracoscopic Truncal Vagotomy Versus Surgical Revision of the Gastrojejunal Anastomosis for Recalcitrant Marginal Ulcers
    Surgical Endoscopy (2019) 33:607–611 and Other Interventional Techniques https://doi.org/10.1007/s00464-018-6386-7 2018 SAGES ORAL DYNAMIC Thoracoscopic truncal vagotomy versus surgical revision of the gastrojejunal anastomosis for recalcitrant marginal ulcers Alicia Bonanno1 · Brandon Tieu2 · Elizabeth Dewey1 · Farah Husain3 Received: 1 May 2018 / Accepted: 10 August 2018 / Published online: 21 August 2018 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Introduction Marginal ulcer is a common complication following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with incidence rates between 1 and 16%. Most marginal ulcers resolve with medical management and lifestyle changes, but in the rare case of a non-healing marginal ulcer there are few treatment options. Revision of the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis carries significant morbidity with complication rates ranging from 10 to 50%. Thoracoscopic truncal vagotomy (TTV) may be a safer alternative with decreased operative times. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TTV in comparison to GJ revision for treatment of recalcitrant marginal ulcers. Methods A retrospective chart review of patients who required surgical intervention for non-healing marginal ulcers was performed from 1 September 2012 to 1 September 2017. All underwent medical therapy along with lifestyle changes prior to intervention and had preoperative EGD that demonstrated a recalcitrant marginal ulcer. Revision of the GJ anastomosis or TTV was performed. Data collected included operative time, ulcer recurrence, morbidity rate, and mortality rate. Results Twenty patients were identified who underwent either GJ revision (n = 13) or TTV (n = 7). There were no 30-day mortalities in either group.

  • A Matched Cohort Analysis of Single Anastomosis Loop Duodenal Switch Versus Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass with 18-Month Follow-Up - Springer
    A matched cohort analysis of single anastomosis loop duodenal switch versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 18-month follow-up - Springer Search Submit Article Surgical Endoscopy pp 1-7 First online: 22 December 2015 A matched cohort analysis of single anastomosis loop duodenal switch versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with 18-month follow-up Austin Cottam, Daniel Cottam , Walter Medlin, Christina Richards, Samuel Cottam, Hinali Zaveri, Amit Surve 10.1007/s00464-015-4707-7 Copyright information Abstract Background The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) has been considered the gold standard for many years. The loop duodenal switch (LDS) is a relatively new procedure that simplifies the complexity of the duodenal switch (BPDDS) by making it a single anastomosis procedure while at the same time giving it more intestinal absorption to reduce the rates of malnutrition associated with traditional BPDDS. This paper seeks to compare the 18-month weight loss outcomes and complications of the more standard GBP with the newer LDS in a single US center. Methods A retrospective matched cohort was analyzed on 108 patients who had either GBP (54 patients) or LDS (54 patients). Regression analysis was used to compare weight loss outcomes as measured by BMI and weight loss percentages. Complications gathered included bleeds, reoperations, diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy (EGD), ulcers and chronic nausea. Results GBP and LDS have statistically similar weight loss at 18 months (39.6 vs 41 % weight loss, respectively). However, there were significantly more nausea complaints (26 vs 5), diagnostic endoscopies (EGD) (21 vs 3) and ulcers (6 vs 0) with the GBP than the LDS.

The minimally invasive procedure offers reduced postoperative discomfort and improved cosmesis. Here, we report our first case of a posterior truncal vagotomy and anterior highly selective vagotmny performed laparoscopicallyfor the first time in Asia. The surgery was uneventful. Diet was resumed on day 3 and the patient was discharged on day 4. Post-vagotomy acid secretion tests on the third week revealed a dramatic decrease in acid production. With further experience, laparoscopic vagotomy can be an attractive alternative to long tern medication in peptic ulcer disease.
