[Method of constrictive anastomosis].

A combined cuff suture was elaborated in the clinic for the formation of a functioning constrictor and prevention of suture incompetence in various anastomoses. The method of its application is discussed and the results of its testing in gastroduodeno- and gastrojejunostomy in animal experiments are shown. The cuff suture was used in the clinic in 129 patients, in operative management of obstruction of the hepaticocholedochus and biliodigestive anastomoses in 77, in formation of constrictor digestive anastomoses after resection of the stomach and gastrectomy in 42 patients, and in cystogastrostomy in one patient with favorable functional outcomes.

[Use of combined complexes and lithium carbonate in the preoperative care of patients with toxic goiter].

On the basis of clinico-laboratory and radioimmunologic investigations in 139 patients with thyrotoxicosis, it is shown that in prescription of lithium carbonate with mercazol, more rapid decrease in the blood level of thyroid hormones, incidence of complications before and after the operation, cost expenditure is noted when compared to the other methods.
