From 1975 the authors used autohemotransfusion in stomach resection for ulcer complications. The procedure was carried out upon 68 patients aged from 28 to 57. 200-350 ml of the blood were taken from these patients 4 to 7 days before operation. The routine method of donor blood conservation was used. The transfusion was performed during the operation. The patients did not develop any complications due to the blood exfusion and transfusion.
