[Gastric function after organ-preserving surgery in stenosing pyloroduodenal ulcers]

The article analyses the results of organ-preserving operations in 170 patients with duodenal ulcers complicated by stenosis of various stages. The motor and secretory activity of the stomach, the terms of ulcer healing after the operation, and the character of changes in the dimensions of the stomach following surgical interventions were studied. On the basis of the study the authors conclude that organ-preserving operations may be conducted in ulcerative pyloroduodenal stenosis, and in the decompensated form.
