    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1989 Mar; 142(3):32-4. PubMed ID: 2665306.
    Abstract:
    Data on 323 patients operated upon for penetrating duodenal ulcers (resection of the stomach) are presented. New procedures are described which elevate hermeticity of the duodenal stump as well as prophylactic measures against incompetence of sutures of the duodenum stump. Six patients had incompetent sutures of the duodenum stump which was of limited character and was completed by the formation of a duodenal fistula. Lethality from this complication was not noted.
