[Specific topographic-anatomical and technical features of resection of the stomach by the Roux method]

The topographic-anatomical investigations of the extraorganic part of the arterial and nervous systems of the duodenum and the initial part of the jejunum in combination with the results of the clinical use of gastric resection by the Roux method allowed to draw a conclusion that the development of Roux syndrome can be prevented by a transection of the jejunum with the saved arcades between the first jejunal artery, the duodenal branch and the second jejunal arteries. The rules of gastric resection by the Roux method and indications to this procedures in patients with ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum are described. Good and excellent long-term results were obtained in 75.8% of the patients operated upon.
