[Functional state of the resected stomach stump in peptic ulcer]

The authors report the results of examination of 80 patients with ulcerous disease of the stomach and duodenum prior to and in the immediate period, as well as in 85 patients in late terms after typical Hofmeister-Finsterer gastrectomy. The acid-production of the stomach and its stump was studied by intragastric pH-metry, pepsine in the gastric juice was determined and also the resected stomach excretory function was studied by fibrochromogastroscopy. It is shown that the method of intragastric pH-metry is more advanrageous, since it gives an estimation of acid-production of the resected stomach in the immediate postoperative period, in particular.
