[A method of treating high ulcers of the posterior gastric wall]

The method of operative treatment of high ulcers of the posterior gastric wall has a number of advantages and is technically less difficult than other available methods. The use of the method includes preservation of blood supply of the gastric stump and pyloric sphincter, resection of the posterior gastric wall with ulcer, creation of the gastric tube from the anterior wall and putting a direct anastomosis with the preservation of the pyloric sphincter which allows avoidance of incompetence of the anastomosis sutures and such late disturbances as dumping syndrome, gastric stump gastritis and reflux-esophagitis. The method was used in operations on 6 patients and gave good results.
