[Acute intestinal obstruction after resection of the stomach and pylorus-destroying surgeries].

Results of examination of 55 patients with acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) who had undergone resection of the stomach (51) and trunk vagotomy with pyloroplasty (4) were analyzed. Among 29 operated patients AIO were caused by phytobezoars in 21 (72.4%) and comissures in 8 (27.6%) patients. Twenty-two were hospitalized in autumn. Twenty-six patients were treated conservatively, 12 of them were hospitalized in autumn. Small-intestine AIO due to phytobezoars is seen more often in patients with resected stomach. This pathology is characterized by triad of signs: the history of stomach resection, autumn (the season of haw), clinical picture of small-intestine obstruction.
