title: [Surgical treatment of duodenal ulcers].
abstract: Selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) was fulfilled in 440 patients with ulcer of the duodenum, 30.0% of them being operated upon for relative indications, and 70.0% for different complications of the ulcer. Different draining operations were made in 219 patients with stenosis. Draining operations were made in 10.6% of 254 patients without stenosis of the pylorus who had big and deep penetrating ulcers which could disturb duodenal passage on their healing. Resections of the stomach after Billroth-I were fulfilled in 20 of 43 patients with combined gastric and duodenal ulcers, and after Hofmeister-Finsterer in 23 patients in view of a danger of malignization. The best results were obtained after proper SPV and after operations eliminating stenosis and saving the evacuating mechanism of the pylorus (transversal duodeno-duodenostomy in 10 patients and duodenoplasty--in 22). Resection of the stomach should be performed by the Billroth-I method.
