title: [Gastrectomy with creation of small intestinal reservoir].
abstract: A new variety of the esophago-intestinal anastomosis in gastrectomy is presented. The application of the anastomosis begins with formation of the cuff around the esophagus by the usage of the afferent and efferent loops, which then being joined together in a shape f reservoir. A total of 113 patients with cancer of the stomach (83), cancer of the gastric stump (10), giant ulcers of the cardial part of the stomach complicated by bleeding (15), and Zollinger-Ellison (5) syndrome have been operated on. Insufficiency of the anastomosis was revealed in 2 patients (1.8%). 6 patients (5.1%) died, 1 patient with insufficiency of the esophageal anastomosis included. There were no clinical manifestations and objective features of reflux-esophagitis after the usage of the suggested method for anastomosis, the reservoir function after the resection of the stomach was for the most part compensated.
