[Treatment of patients with perforated pyloroduodenal ulcers].

Results of treatment of 206 patients with perforated gastroduodenal ulcers were analyzed. Atypical clinical picture of perforated ulcer in some patients led to diagnostic mistakes. Diagnostic algorithm including videolaparoscopy in difficult cases is proposed.

[Treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer bleedings in a general hospital of emergency care].

Treatment of patients with gastroduodenal ulcer bleedings in a general hospital of emergency care is a complex of measures including of endoscopic diagnosis and stopping of bleeding, use of effective antisecretory drugs with obligatory laboratory control of acid-producing function of the stomach, surgical treatment and eradication of H. pylori. Up-to-date methods of endoscopic hemostasis - spirituous infiltration, argon-plasma coagulation, clipping of vessels in ulcer and also their combination in difficult cases - provide reliable hemostasis and allow to avoid urgent surgery.

[Choice of surgery scope in occlusive obstruction of the colon].

From 1980 five hundred and seventy-three patients underwent surgery for occlusive obstruction of the colon (OOC). Radical surgeries (left-sided hemicolonectomy, Hartman's surgery, subtotal colonectomy) were performed in 440 (77%) patients, 133 (23%) patients underwent palliative surgeries. One hundred and sixty-one patients of radically operated underwent one-stage surgeries (93 right-sided hemicolonectomies and 68 subtotal colonectomies).

[Principles of treating stomach and duodenal ulcers complicated by hemorrhage].

Ulcerative gastroduodenal bleedings have remained one of the most complicated problems of emergency abdominal surgery up to the present. According to the literature, they make up approximately one half of all gastroduodenal bleedings and are accompanied by high lethality--from 10 to 30%. At that the highest percentage of lethality falls at elderly and old patients.
