[Predicting the risk of recurrence of duodenal ulcer after vagotomy].
The author suggests a multifactor program for decoding the variant of the course of the postoperative period in patients with duodenal ulcer. It was tested in 199 patients. Three groups of patients with a favourable prognosis, an uncertain prognosis, and with a high risk of recurrent ulcer were distinguished. An individual therapeutic program with consideration for the risk group allows the incidence of postoperative recurrence of ulcer to be reduced by more than three times.
