[Pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of dumping syndrome]

The work presents results of treatment of 123 patients with a severe dumping-syndrome following resection of the stomach for ulcer disease. The author considers that there is not any predisposition for the dumping-syndrome in resection of the stomach. This pathology is a result of inconsiderable errors in operation and can be prevented by strict observation of the rules of performing the operation. The reconstructive operation aimed at the creation of favorable conditions for the functioning of the gastric stump is indicated if the conservative treatment failed during 6-10 months.
