Abstract
The comparative study showed that the B I operation had the disadvantage of a higher
frequency of recurrence than the B II operation, in the case of duodenal ulcers in
males. The advantages of the B I method include a lower frequency of postoperative
anemia, of marked postcibal symptoms, and of postoperative losses of weight.
The main advantage of the B II method was a lower frequency of recurrence.
Our indications for the present concerning the two types of partial gastrectomy are:
in men with duodenal ulcer, B II; in men with gastric ulcer, B I; in women, B I.
It seems as if the only disadvantage of the B I operation lies in the fact that, for
male duodenal cases, there is definitely a higher frequency of recurrence. The wisest
procedure, therefore, would be to perform vagotomy in these cases at the same time
as the B I operation. We have no evidence that this combined method is superior to
the B II operation, but it is hoped that we shall have material later which will enable
a comparison to be made.
