The results of gastrectomies performed in 7 women and 13 men (aged from 41 to 73) with various diseases of the stomach (cancer, non-epithelial tumors, erosive and ulcerous gastritis, ulcer and phlegmonous gastritis) are analyzed. The surgical interventions included operations from gastrectomy to gastropancreatosplenoduodenocholecystectomy with phleboplasty of the portal vein and extended parietal lymphadenectomy. Ten operations were made for profuse bleedings with 4 fatal outcomes. During the first 48 hours after the appearance of the complication 10 patients were operated upon for the recurrence of the risk of recurrent hemorrhage. The formation of muff-like variants of esophagojejunostomy was preferred. The results are considered to be promising.
