Abstract
A physician encoutering a patient with symptoms suggesting recurrent ulcer after highly selective vagotomy (HSV) will have to consider the diagnosis, the aetiology, the treatment and finally the prevention of this form of ulcer disease. The diagnosis is of particular importance as is illustrated by the study of Poppen et al,1 who found that in 20 out of a group of 54 patients with symptoms suggestive of recurrent ulcer, no ulcer could be demonstrated.
