[Bleedings from ulcers after resection of stomach and vagotomy]

Overall 162 patients with recurrent ulcers after previous operations for ulcer disease were treated. Resection of stomach was performed in 69 (42.6%) of them, vagotomy--in 93 (57.4%). Episodes of bleeding were revealed in anamnesis at 56 (81.2%) patients with peptic ulcers after stomach resection, and at 15 (16.1%)--with ulcers after vagotomy. Bleeding was the cause of urgent hospitalization at 39 (28.1%) patients. One hundred and thirty-six from 162 patients have been operated (including 52 patients after primary resection and 81--after primary vagotomy). Vagotomy at the patients with ulcers after primary resections demonstrates good results. Repeated resection of gastric stump with vagotomy is indicated in great penetrating ulcers. Resection of stomach is the operation of choice in majority cases of recurrent ulcers after primary vagotomy. Stem re-vagotomy demonstrates good result an the patients with ulcers of gastro-intestinal anastomosis after primary selective proximal vagotomy.
