[Specifics in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of combined gastroduodenal ulcers]

The article deals with the experience in the treatment of 134 patients with concurrent gastroduodenal ulcers. The authors substantiate the necessity for performing early operative treatment by means of organ-preserving and organ-sparing operation with consideration for the depth of the ulcerous defect. Attention is drawn to the need for operative correction of chronic duodenal obstruction. Two (1.5%) patients died after the operation. The late-term results were studied in follow-up periods of up to 10 years. Recurrences of peptic ulcer and syndromes of an operated on stomach requiring operative treatment were not encountered.
