[Late reinterventions after the surgical treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer].
A number of 87 reinterventions performed during a 5-year-period for late complications of the gastric and duodenal ulcer surgery are analysed. In most of them (64 cases), the cause of the reintervention was a postoperative ulcer. A long afferent loop (6 cases), the dumping syndrome (4 cases), the stenosis of the anastomosis opening (6 cases) and the primitive neoplasm of the gastric stump (7 cases) represented other causes of reintervention. The immediate postoperative results were very good and good in 69 cases. The risks related to the specific character of this surgery materialized themselves in 14 postoperative complications (anastomotic fistulas, haemorrhages from the anastomosis, stress ulcers etc.), which required iterative operations; the postoperative death rate attained 3.4%. The analysis of these postgastrectomy syndromes is an opportunity to discuss about the failure factors in the surgery of the gastric and duodenal ulcer, the possibilities of exploration and the principles which should guide the reparative therapy.
