[Phytobezoars of the stomach]

Literature data and the own authors' observations (76 cases), concerning the recognition and treatment of stomach phytobezoars following vagotomy and stomach resection are set forth in the paper. All these formations in the stomach were removed by means of the conservative procedures. Knowledge of the specificity of the phytobezoars manifestations in an operated stomach allows for better understanding and evaluation of the state of the patients who have been subjected to stomach resection of vagotomy.
