[Condition of the operated-on stomach in patients with acute complications of gastroduodenal ulcers].

On the basis of results of examination of 1094 patients the authors consider that normal functioning of the operated stomach is ensured due to adequate acid-formation within the limits of hypo- and normochlorhydria, normal evacuatory function and absence of pronounced gastric alterations of the mucosa. Functional disorders and severe postoperative syndromes were most frequently observed in patients after extensive gastric resections which is associated with the suppression of compensatory-adaptational mechanisms due to cutting of both endocrine and neurocrine regulation. The best functional results in the remote period were obtained after selective proximal vagotomy without draining operations.
