TUBULAR GASTRIC RESECTION WITH SELECTIVE VAGOTOMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF COMPLICATED GASTRODUODENAL ULCER

The authors generalize the material on the surgical treatment of 151 patients who were operated on for complicated gastroduodenal ulcers by means of an improved method of tubular resection of the stomach with selective vagotomy, subtotal excision of the lesser curvature, and the formation of a postcolonic rectangular on a short loop with oblique division of the jejunum. The late-term results were studied in follow-up periods of up to 4 years in 110 patients (72.8 %) and appraised according to Visik's scale. The results were excellent in 78 (70.9 %), good in 25 (22.7 %), satisfactory in 6 (5.5 %) patients, and poor (recurrence of the disease) in one (0.94) patient.
