[Changes and risks in gastroduodenal surgery]

By retrospective analysis of clinical material changes and risks of gastroduodenal surgery were evaluated. The number of elective operations declined and the number of urgent surgical operations on account of peptic ulceration in conjunction with the development of medicamentous antiulcerous treatment increased. The number of patients with gastric cancer is rising. The range of surgical operations is preserved, none of the operations is ideal treatment. The risk of reoperation involves long-term morbidity and a high mortality.
