Ulcerative gastroduodenal bleedings have remained one of the most complicated problems of emergency abdominal surgery up to the present. According to the literature, they make up approximately one half of all gastroduodenal bleedings and are accompanied by high lethality--from 10 to 30%. At that the highest percentage of lethality falls at elderly and old patients.

Data on the treatment of incomplete intestinal fistulas in 86 patients are presented. In 34 patients the incomplete intestinal fistulas were formed on the duodenum after a resection of the stomach. Tampons were responsible for the formation of small intestine incomplete fistulas in 47 patients. The operative treatment was used in 10 of 86 patients with incomplete intestinal fistulas, better results being obtained in the patients operated upon within the first three days after the appearance of the fistula. In cases with incomplete small intestine fistulas 54 patients died of 76; with colonic fistulas 4 of 10 patients died.
