[Aspects of surgical treatment of peptic ulcer complicated by hemorrhage].

The article presents materials of clinical examination of 407 patients with ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum complicated by bleeding. The nearest and long-term results of vagotomy and resection of the stomach are shown in comparison. Totally, organ-preserving interventions give more promising results than resection of the stomach especially by the Billroth-II method. After vagotomy, however, recurrent disease was observed in 8.4% and dyspeptic symptoms took place in 17% of the patients examined. By the data of medical labour examination 3-5 years after operation, advantages of vagotomy become increasingly notable, social labour characteristics of vagotomy as a method of treatment is considerably more preferable than resection of the stomach.
