overall assessment ( visick grading ) of the outcome gave poorer results after vagotomy and pyloroplasty than after any other operation , with 14 % of category iv cases after vagotomy and pyloroplasty , 11 % after vagotomy and gastroenterostomy , 8 % after vagotomy and antrectomy , and 6 % after subtotal gastrectomy-differences that are significant between vagotomy and pyloroplasty and vagotomy and antrectomy or subtotal gastrectomy but not between vagotomy and pyloroplasty and vagotomy and gastroenterostomy.in the light of these findings it is suggested that truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty has not lived up to expectations and its place as the currently most popular procedure in the elective surgical treatment of duodenal ulcer should be reconsidered .
