[Expediency of performing duodenojejunostomy in chronic duodenal obstruction]

The article discusses treatment of 30 patients with chronic duodenal obstruction by means of an operation for duodenojejunostomy. Three variants of subcolonic duodenojejunostomy were used. The best drainage function of longitudinal duodenojejunostomy is noted. The postoperative results were poor in 40% of patients. The operation was repeated in 11 patients. The duodenum was excluded. The results of the second operations were satisfactory. Duodenojejunostomy is poorly effective in the treatment of duodenostasis. Exclusion of the duodenum from passage produced more favorable results in respect of function.
