Conclusions

A series of 120 patients had gastric freezing for the treatment of duodenal ulcer; 30 of these were treated a second time and, of these, 6 were treated a third time. Gastric secretory changes and clinical follow-up after multiple gastric freezing demonstrate that alterations are of temporary duration, as with the first freeze. The secretory findings support the conclusion that repeat freezing duplicates the mechanism of temporary selective vagotomy (as in the first freeze) without enhancing possible cumulative therapeutic effects.
