[Gastrectomy patients--a retrospective study].
Of 39 patients with resected stomach the endoscopic and radiological findings as well as the anamnestic and paraclinical data were analysed retrospectively and compared. In contrast to the patients with recidivation ulcer and stump gastritis the patients with a gastric stump carcinoma had an essentially higher average age and, in general, a considerably longer postoperative interval. The endoscopy, including biopsy, achieved a considerably greater diagnostic security in the various groups of disease than the X-ray examination. Symptoms, such as decrease of weight, gastric pains and vomiting, were most frequently found in patients with carcinoma.
