title: [Long-term results of the treatment with stomach reducing operations in patients with alimentary constitutional obesity].
abstract: The authors analyse experience in the treatment of 415 patients with extreme alimentary-constitutional obesity (ACO) by operation for formation of a small stomach (FSS). Seventy-five patients were followed up and examined 3-5 years after the operation. FSS leads to stable and significant loss of body weight. Its degree depends on the diameter of the anastomosis between the proximal and distal parts of the stomach and the initial excess of body weight. The working capacity of the patients is restored in the late-term postoperative periods and diseases attendant to obesity disappear or take a milder course. The success of the treatment is determined significantly by the correct choice of the patients for surgery. Operations for FSS may be repeated for very strict indications in specialized clinics experienced in the treatment of patients with obesity.
