[The choice of the method for restoring gastrointestinal tract continuity in gastric resection for peptic ulcer].

Resection of the stomach was carried out in 299 patients (in 151 for gastric ulcer and in 148 for duodenal ulcer). The method for restoring the continuity of the gastrointestinal tract after gastric resection was individualized according to the location of the ulcer, the patient's age, the character of complications of peptic ulcer, the topographoanatomical conditions in the zone of the operation, and the motility and acid-producing activity of the stomach. The indications and contraindications for various types of gastrointestinal anastomoses are discussed. Direct gastroduodenal anastomosis is considered the operation of choice, if it cannot be established a terminolateral gastroduodenal anastomosis is formed. One patient died after the operation.
