title: [The modern aspects of the surgical treatment of the perforated gastric and duodenal ulcer with a view to the immediate results].
abstract: Experience is recorded with the operative treatment of 185 patients with perforated gastric and duodenal ulcer over the period 1981-1991. The period was divided in two: 1981-1985 and 1986-1991. During the first period were operated 89 patients: 58 with perforated duodenal ulcer and 31 with gastric ulcer. The method of choice during this period was suture of the perforation. During the second period were operated 96 patients: 90 with duodenal and 6 with gastric ulcer. Surgical approach was also individualized depending on the pathologic process, patient age and accompanying diseases. The following operative interventions were performed: "pure suture" of the ulcer--55 patients; gastric resection by Billroth I and II techniques--7 patients; different variants of vagotomy with drainage operation--34 patients. Analysis of the immediate results in 42 patients demonstrated that best results were obtained by vagotomy + drainage operations.
