[Early reoperations after resection of stomach in gastroduodenal ulcers]
Abstract:
The material is based on the 20 years' experience in urgent surgical treatment of 2146 patients with gastroduodenal ulcers (GDU). 120 patients of them underwent relaparotomy. The main reasons for the repeated operations were insufficiency of the sutures of the duodenal stump, peritonitis, bleeding, abscesses of the abdominal cavity. Owing to new tactics of surgical treatment for GDU the authors managed to reduce the number of relaparotomies from 9.3 to 3.7% and total mortality rate from 5 to 0.7%.
