[Reconstructive surgery of peptic ulcer and ulceration of the gastroenteric anastomosis].

An experience with treatment of 177 patients has shown that peptic ulcers are a severe pathology with a pronounced pain syndrome and early development of complications. They are subject to operative treatment after thorough examination and a course of antiulcer therapy during 4-5 weeks before operation. Reconstructive resection of the stomach in combination with truncal vagotomy is thought to be most radical for peptic ulcer. Lethality after reconstructive operations was 5.5%. Trophic ulcers of the gastrointestinal anastomosis is subject to operative treatment but in cases of the presence of other postresection disorders requiring surgical treatment.
