[Cancer of the gastric stump and its prevention].

The paper deals with an evaluation of the condition of 216 cases of stomach resection of ulcer after Hofmeister-Finsterer and using valve anastomosis. Cancer of stomach stump was observed in cases of resection performed after Hofmeister-Finsterer but did not occur in those of valve anastomosis. Postresection gastritis appeared to be more pronounced in the former cases.
