title: [Surgical treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer].
abstract: Ulcer incidence in the Crimeahas increased during the last 9 years from 118.4 to 185.7 cases per 10,000 of adult population, being higher in South Coast and in mountains. From 125 patients with duodenal ulcer after conservative treatment only 12.8% have recovered (follow up for 8-10 years). 29.6% of patients underwent surgery; 1.6%--died without operations of ulcer, 35.2%--needed elective treatment. From 97 patients who died during 4 years of ulcer in Simferopol, 25 (25.8%) were not operated. They were aged and very old patients with long history of the disease. Among 9412 operations for ulcer there were 4.17% of lethal outcomes in perforated ulcer and 11.5%--in bleeding (22.18% being at the peak of hemorrhage); 1.45%--after elective resection of the stomach, 0.79%--after organ-saving operations with vagotomy, in SPV--0.56%. According to general hospital surgery data, there were no lethal outcomes after SPV and SPV with pyloroplasty (295 patients). As a conclusion it is stated, that surgery in ulcer should be made earlier, before complications.
