    Abstract:
    The results of treatment of 538 patients, operated on for perforative ulcer (PU), are studied up. Perforative aperture was sutured in 75 patients, in 153 the ulcer was excised, in 291 the excision was supplemented by vagotomy, resectional methods were applied in 19. In 94 (17.5%) of patients 114 complications have occurred after the operation. Postoperative complications were divided into those from the wound, in the abdominal cavity organs and retroperitoneal space, from the abdominal cavity, respiratory and cardiovascular system. After the operation 37 (6.9%) of patients have died. Complications and mortality were observed more frequently in the patients to whom the perforative aperture suturing and the ulcer excision with truncal or selective vagotomy were conducted in the presence of the increased operative risk (the elderly and senile age, concurrent diseases, widespread peritonitis). The least frequency of postoperative complications and mortality were noted after the PU and the ulcer substratum excision supplemented by selective proximal vagotomy.
