[Functional state of gastrointestinal anastomoses after repeated gastric resection]

Long-term follow-up of 144 patients with different types of gastrointestinal anastomoses after repeated and reconstructive operations was gained. Endoscopic and roentgenological data, as wall as data of electrogastrointestinography were assessed. Hystological samples of gastric stump and efferent intestinal loop were analyzed. The conducted survey proved an end-to-end gastro-duodeno-anastomosis to be the best in functional meaning. When the latter is impossible, an antiperistaltic horizontal short-loop gastroenteroanastomosis should be performed.
