[Effect of tubal small-intestinal feeding on the results of the surgical treatment of peptic ulcer].

The probe small intestine nutrition was used in 1455 patients. In 96.4% of the patients the probe was introduced during operation, in 3.6% it was used both prior to it in order to prepare the patient to surgery and in cases with pronounced anastomositis and incompetent sutures in the postoperative period. Wide usage of the probe nutrition allowed the postoperative lethality after difficult surgical interventions to be reduced to 0.56%. The change of the infusion therapy by products introduced through the probe gave a considerable economic effect.
