[Complications of jejunal peptic ulcers].

Under observation were 192 patients with peptic ulcer. In 72.4% of patients complicated peptic ulcers were noted. The frequency and character of complications is changed depending on the method of surgery previously performed--in peptic ulcer, developed under conditions of gastric resection, these are more frequent and of a more grave character than in peptic ulcer of gastroenteroanastomosis. Among complications the first place is occupied by penetration with subsequent occurrence of profistulas (25), and then gastroenterocolonic fistulas (13%). Pentration of jejunal peptic ulcer in the free abdominal cavity is observed comparatively rarely, according to the authors' findings this complication was noted in 3.6% of cases. Bleeding peptic ulcers were observed in 45% of cases, in more than a half of them hemmorrhage was profuse. No malignant transformation of jejunal peptic ulcer was observed.
