Abstract: | Experience with treatment of 262 patients with late complications after operations for duodenal ulcer was analyzed. Eighty-four (32.1%) patients underwent earlier suturing of perforated duodenal ulcer, 97 (37.0%) -- resection of the stomach and 81 (30.9%) -- various types of vagotomy. In recurrent ulcers after sutured perforation organ-saving operations (62, or 73.8%) have important advantages over resection of the stomach. Combined postgastrectomy syndromes (18, or 18.6%) were most difficult for surgical treatment. Resection of the stomach (70, or 86.4%) patients is the best reconstructive operation for postvagotomy syndromes. |
