• While analysing 246 gastroscintigrams in 186 patients with duodenal ulcer prior to and at varying times after surgery 6 types of the evacuatory curves in preoperative examination have been defined (normal, degree I acceleration, degree I-IV evacuatory retardation) as well as 8 types of the curves after different types of organ sparing operations with vagotomies (degree I-II acceleration, a curve which was close to normal and I-IV degree evacuatory retardation). Gastroscintigraphy results make it possible to specify and quantify changes in stomach evacuatory function in order to select an optimum surgical method and to give an objective evaluation of the results of different types of vagotomy used for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
