[Postoperative abdominal complications after thoracic surgery (author's transl)].
Between 1964 to 1974 2940 patients underwent chest operations. 15 cases with abdominal complications among them are analyzed. 10 patients had bleeding gastric or duodenal ulcers with a high mortality rate. Postoperative gastric distention was one of the most important causes. A gastric tube should be introduced whenever such a complication is likely to occur.
