title: [Choice of surgical procedure in the treatment of stomach cancer].
abstract: There are two demands that have to be satisfied in the treatment of gastric carcinoma: 1) eliminate the tumor radically and 2) to maintain the physiological function of the digestive tract. Out of radical methods this is enabled by subtotal and total gastric resections of Billoroth I type. Especially satisfying among the subtotal resections are Billroth I as modified by Shoemaker, Billroth I -- Kirschner (superior and inferior tubular resection) and Völcker, while among the total resections we find Bigham, Longmire and Tomoda I very promising. When dealing with incurable gastric carcinoma palliative methods as gastroenteroanastomosis, recestions and fistulae are used.
