Abstract
Selective proximal vagotomy and posterior truncal vagotomy have been p erformed in 71 consecutive gastric bypass (GBP) patients from June 199 1 to December 1992. Vagotomy was used to prevent or diminish the incid ence of marginal ulcer in GBP patients. Anterior and posterior highly selective proximal vagotomy with circular-instrument stapled gastrojej unostomy in patients undergoing GBP distal Roux-en-Y with jejunal inte rposition had no marginal ulcer complications (minimal follow-up 18 mo nths).
