[Results of gastrectomy with termino-lateral transverse gastroenteroanastomosis in peptic ulcer in patients over 60 years of age].

The authors analyse the material of a specialized gastroenterologic department of a regional clinical hospital and a department of sanitary aviation on rendering emergency and planned surgical aid to elderly and senile patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer. The immediate and late-term results of surgery were much better in resection of the stomach after Eck-Billroth-II with terminolateral transverse anastomosis in K.G. Komarchev's modification than in Billroth-II resection of the stomach in the Hofmeister-Finsterer modification. The peculiarities of the operative techniques leading to improvement of the immediate and late-term results of surgery for gastric and duodenal ulcer in elderly and senile patients allow us to recommend Eck-Billroth-II gastrectomy with terminolateral transverse anastomosis in K.G. Komarchev's modification for wider practical use.
