[A comparative evaluation of the immediate results of a Billroth-II gastric resection with different methods for forming the gastrojejunal anastomosis].

The clinico-statistical investigation performed has revealed that the compressive suture of the transverse termino-lateral gastrojejunal anastomosis in gastric Billroth-II resection formed with the help of a titanium nickelide device considerably lowers traumatism of the operation and bacterial contamination of the operation area, abdominal cavity and the abdominal wall wound which leads to pronounced (3-4 times) drop of the level of early postoperative complications and minimizes the postoperative lethality.

[Initial experiences in creation of anastomoses in abdominal surgery using implants with shape "memory"].

The article analyses the first experience in 230 operations for creation of compression anastomoses in abdominal surgery of the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, and common bile duct by means of implants with shape "memory". Complications occurred in 10% of cases, the mortality rate was 3.04%.
