[Modern capabilities of the diagnostics and surgical treatment of tumors of the small bowel].
During the recent 6 years (2004-2010) tumors of the small intestine were diagnosed in 19 patients. Mean age of the patients with benign tumors was 63 years, with malignant tumors--57 years (age variations from 19 to 82 years). There were 16 (84%) men and 3 (16%) women. In 9 patients tumors were localized in the jejunum, in 10 patients--in the ileum. Complications appeared in 11 patients which was the cause of emergency operations. In 33.3% of the patients clinical manifestations of benign tumors of the small bowel were as episodes of intestinal bleedings which were not intensive as a rule, but were of recurrent character. Malignant tumors of the jejunum had clinical manifestations in 87% of patients. Most frequent symptoms were spastic or diffuse pains in the abdomen (63% of the patients), loss of the body mass (50%), intestinal obstruction (27.7%), intestinal bleedings (5.5%).
