[Evaluation of long-term results in 254 patients surgically treated by gastric resection for peptic ulcer].
The authors checked 254 patients, operated on with gastric resection according to Billroth II for peptic ulcer, at an interval ranging from 7 up to 20 years from the operation, and, on the basis of the results recorded, these patients were subdivided according to Visick's grading (15,7% in grade 1; 30,6% in grade 2; 26,4% in grade 3 S; 4,7% in grade 3 I; 14,6% in grade 4). On the whole, the remote results were considered satisfactory in 205 patients (80,7%) and unsatisfactory in 49 (19,3%): the latter represent those included in Visick's grades 3 I and 4, wherein the most serious post-resection syndromes had been ascertained; their incidence appeared absolutely higher (91,8%) in the patients subjected to gastric resection for non-complicate peptic ulcer. The Authors therefore conclude the failures of such type of operation are to be ascribed, in high percentage, to uncorrect indications thereto.
