[Reoperations in patients with pyloroduodenal ulcers]

From analysis of the results of treatment of 35 patients who underwent previously unsuccessful operations for pyloroduodenal ulcers, the authors discuss the term and the most adequate method of surgical correction. Poor results in the early period after the operation are mainly due to technical errors made during the performance of the first operation. Affection of organs adjacent to the stomach prevail in the later periods. The use of methods of surgical correction suggested by the authors made it possible to achieve adequate medical, social, and occupational rehabilitation in 26 patients.
