Abstract

Our indications for re-establishment of the gastroduodenal passage were complicated and intractable anastomotic ulcers (20 patients), loop- (8 patients) and dumping-syndromes (8 patients). All 36 procedures were carried out without mortality. Two additional reoperations were necessary because of one anastomotic stenosis and one recurrent ulcer. 83% (24 out of 29) of the patients, who had follow-up examinations, were free of complaints. Normalization of resorptive function by re-establishment of gastroduodenal passage could be proven objectively by normal laboratory values and an increase in body weight.
