Does vagotomy protect against multiple sclerosis?
Mult Scler Relat Disord
July 2017
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.
Objectives: To examine the association between vagotomy and multiple sclerosis.
Methods: We conducted a matched cohort study of all patients who underwent truncal or super-selective vagotomy and a comparison cohort, by linking Danish population-based medical registries (1977-1995). Hazard ratios (HRs) for multiple sclerosis, adjusting for potential confounders were computed by means of Cox regression analysis.
Vagotomy and subsequent risk of Parkinson's disease.
Ann Neurol
October 2015
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) may be caused by an enteric neurotropic pathogen entering the brain through the vagal nerve, a process that may take over 20 years. We investigated the risk of PD in patients who underwent vagotomy and hypothesized that truncal vagotomy is associated with a protective effect, whereas superselective vagotomy has a minor effect.
Methods: We constructed cohorts of all patients in Denmark who underwent vagotomy during 1977-1995 and a matched general population cohort by linking Danish registries.
Functional results of a personal technique of reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
J Exp Clin Cancer Res
December 2003
Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza, Dipartimento di Chirurgia Pietro Valdoni, Cattedra di Patologia Chirurgica IX, Cattedra di Chirurgia d'Urgenza 2, Italy.
The aim of the study is to propose a new technique of reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy with more attention to the functional aspects. From 1995 and 2003, 25 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic or periampullary cancer. The reconstruction was carried out by: end-to-end gastro-jejunal anastomosis (first jejunal loop); a Roux-en-Y T-T pancreatico-jejunal anastomosis leaving a silastic catheter in the Wirsung; hepatico-jejunostomy and jejuno-jejunostomy below the biliary anastomosis; superselective vagotomy.

The paper represents our results of laparoscopic vagotomies. In 1993 was the first successful laparoscopic vagotomy in Slovakia performed, at the 1st Department of Surgery, Faculty Hospital, Bratislava. From this time 10 operations with front superselective and dorsal truncal vagotomy were performed.

Background: This study illustrates our experience in treating duodenal ulcer by means of thoracoscopy and laparoscopy over a period of six years.
Materials And Methods: From October 1991 to October 1998, we submitted 38 patients (31 males and 7 females), average age 51 years (range 22-78 years), with duodenal ulcer to vagotomy with minimally invasive access: 23 Hill-Barkers, 2 Taylors, 9 thoracoscopic truncal vagotomies and 4 laparoscopic truncal vagotomies. The patients submitted to thoracoscopic truncal vagotomy had previous gastric surgery (5 ulcers of the neostoma in patients who had undergone gastric resection, 3 hemorrhagic gastritis of the gastric neostoma and 1 incomplete abdominal vagotomy).
