title: [Validity of distal subtotal gastroresection in the treatment of tumors of the lower 1/3 of the stomach].
abstract: The Authors analysed the results of a casuistry of 75 patients subjected to radical subtotal gastroresection for carcinoma of the distal third of stomach, with the purpose to verify the validity of such operation, as compared to the total gastrectomy on principle. The postoperative mortality reached 8% and morbidity 8.7%. The survival after 5 years reached 42%. 85% of the patients, at checkings, resulted in good or excellent conditions (Visik 1-2). On the basis of these data, the Authors conclude the distal subtotal gastric resection should be considered the choice treatment for tumours of the lower third of stomach.
