    Abstract:
    1070 patients underwent radical operations for stomach carcinoma in the Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital for the period of time from 1969 to 1993 (85.4% from the number of admitted patients in whom the cancer was revealed for the first time). Subtotal distal stomach resection was performed in 627 (58.6%) patients, subtotal proximal resection--in 78 (7.3%), gastrectomy--in 365 (34.1%), combined operations were conducted in 193 (18%) patients. After subtotal distal resection the complications developed in 12.6%; the lethality constituted 5.4%. After subtotal proximal resection and gastrectomy with vertical anastomosis 23.3% have died, with invagination anastomosis--9.7%. 5-year survival after radical operations in stomach carcinoma was documented in 38.9%, 10-year survival--in 28.6% of the patients.
