To the method of operating in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers

Priv. associate professor H. M. Savkov (Zhurn. sovrem, surgeon., vol. III, issue 4, 1928) for 12 years has done 700 operations for the above diseases, including 647 gastroenterostomies. In 69% the author received good long-term results, 13% - satisfactory and 18% bad. The mortality rate is 32%. The best percentage of good long-term postoperative results give duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcers with increased secretion. A continuous diet is recommended to reduce postoperative poor outcomes. Callous ulcers, chronic ulcers with decreased secretion and dilatation of the gastric wall and all ulcers suspected of malignant transformation should be subject to resection.
