[Surgical procedure in cardial stomach ulcers]. / Khirurgicheskaia taktika pri iazvakh kardial'nogo otdela zheludka.

The authors have observed 203 patients with ulcers of the cardiac portion of the stomach. Especially great diagnostic importance is attached to the endoscopic method with the obligatory examination of the biopsic material taken from different portion of the ulcer. Resection of the cardiac portion with the creation of an invagination anastomosis is considered by the authors to be the most rational operation in ulcers localized in the cardia. The operation of choice in ulcers localized in the subcardia should be subtotal resection of the stomach.
