Over a period of 5 years 102 highly selective vagotomies (HSV) were performed. The cases selected excluded gastric outlet obstruction. The results show a significant cure rate of peptic ulcer, without any deaths. It is suggested that the high rate of recurrences and complications reported from other centres might be due to incomplete denervation, most likely due to variations of the nerve or damage to the nerve of Latarjet, amounting to truncal vagotomy — Complete or incomplete, depending on the nature and level of damage to the nerve. From our experience at this centre, HSV has given very good clinical results in the 5 years of review. The procedure is safe and without mortality.

SummaryIn the Royal Navy, after surgery, the time that servicemen spend away from work and the level of duty to whch they return are decisions made by the surgeon, not the general practitioner.In a prospective study, we have thus been able to assess the acceptability of return to full duty at decreasing intervals after highly selected vagotomy (HSY).Seventy-eight service men who underwent HSY for duodenal ulcer were studied in three periods, 1978–1980, 1981–1982, 1983–1986, each with a shorter interval to return to duty.There were no differences in the rates of ulcer recurrence, incisional hernia, or ability to perform full duties.After HSY the mean time to return to full duties for each group was 29.3, 16.4, and 4.2 weeks, respectively. Every patient returned to full duties at 28 days was able to perform any assigned task whether at sea or ashore.
