[Intestinal plastic surgery in stomach resection].

It is the author's opinion that a primary gastrointestinal plasty in resection of the stomach, performed nowdays by some specialists in reconstructive procedures for late postgastrectomy complications, should be considered to be erroneous, since late complications arising after gastric resection result from somewhat different causes. It is believed that, as a rule, these are the result of various errors and drawbacks of improper gastric resection, the liquidation of which would necessitate a special operative intervention, but not the routine surgery, especially if this operation is as complicated as reconstructive gastrointestinal plasty.
