Abstract

The effect of vagotomy on the post-prandial alkaline tide was assessed by measuring the fasting and postprandial urinary pH before and after vagotomy in 50 cases of chronic duodenal ulcer treated by posterior truncal vagotomy or gastrojejunostomy or pyloroplasty. Results showed that post-prandial urinary pH fell after vagotomy confirming the completeness of vagotomy. This test is safe, reliable, noninvasive and a simpler bedside procedure as compared to the conventional Hollander's insulin test.
