Abstract
Abstract Eight patients with intractable dumping symptoms following truncal vagotomy and Heineke–Mikulicz pyloroplasty for duodenal ulcer had the pyloroplasty reversed. These patients were assessed, both clinically and by a dumping provocation test, before operation, within 3 months of reversal of the pyloroplasty, and again at 1 year postoperatively. Six of them had no symptoms during the year and results of their dumping provocation tests have reverted to normal. Five have been followed up for a further year and in all the clinical improvement is maintained. Two patients developed recurrent dumping symptoms within 6 months of the reversal procedure.
