title: [Economic effectiveness of conservative and surgical methods of treatment of duodenal ulcer in young patients].
abstract: The work evaluates the results of treatment of duodenal ulcer in 152 young patients. The state's financial losses connected with their treatment by various methods are counted up. Prolonged nonoperative treatment was applied in 52 patients (group I), organ-preserving operations were carried out in 100 patients (group II). Group I patients felt much worse, most of them suffered from annual recurrences of the disease, 21% underwent various operative interventions later due to the development of complications. Good and excellent results were recorded in 86% of group II patients. It was established that not only are the clinical results better in group II patients, but the economical losses in timely performance of organ-preserving operations are half those in prolonged nonoperative therapy.
