Physiology of intra-abdominal volume during pregnancy.

A total of 580 pregnant and 50 puerperal women were included in this cross-sectional study to assess the physiological changes that allow women to adapt to a chronic increase in intra-abdominal pressure during pregnancy. The volume of the uterus, intra-abdominal volume (IAV), visceral and subcutaneous fat was calculated. During pregnancy, the IAV increases up to 1.

An original method for isoantiperistaltic jejunogastroplastic operation without intestinal inserts in distal subtotal resection of the stomach.

A novel method for subtotal gastric resection is described with the construction of an isoantiperistaltic artificial stomach formed from the small intestine and the duodenum at Treitz's ligament without any intestinal inserts, Brown's and Roux's anastomoses, and with an invaginated anastomosis between the stomach and the reservoir measuring 1.5-2 cm in length. Fifty-nine operations were performed.
