Incompetence of gastroduodenal anastomosis sutures was observed in 2 of 700 patients (0.28%), operated upon by Billroth-I method for ulcer disease of the duodenum. The patients were cured by nonoperative methods using the V.A. Ivankovich obturator and porolon sponge. These methods should be tested in clinical practice.
