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.
