title: [Surgical course in patients with diabetes].
abstract: A retrospective analysis is presented of 388 patients with diabetes mellitus treated in a gastrointestinal surgery department in the years 1975-1988. In the patients 473 diseases were diagnosed which could be the basis for surgical treatment. Our of 388 patients, 254 were treated surgically and 375 operations were performed in them; 46 patients had multiple operations. The highest per cent of deaths was found in the group of patients with diabetic gangrene of the lower limbs which reached 10.4%, while in all patients the mortality was 4.3%. Finally it is suggested that only the approach to the diabetic patients as to high-risk patients enables obtaining of a satisfactory result of surgical treatment.
