Objective. To develop a method of organ-saving operation aimed at preservation of the physiological function of the pylorus and the normal physiological functioning of the pyloroduodenal area in patients with combined perforated, stenotic pyloroduodenal ulcers. Materials and methods. The study included 60 patients who faced surgery treatment in relation to complicated combined perforated, stenotic pyloroduodenal ulcers. Depending on diagnostic and surgical tactics applied, patients were conditionally divided into two groups. The control group consisted of 30 patients who underwent standard suturing methods. The main group also consisted of 30 patients in whom the developed method was applicated. Results. In the control group at the postoperative period of 30 patients operated in different ways complications occurred in 12 persons or in 40% of cases. In the main group of 30 patients operated according to the proposed method, complication in the form of anastomositis occurred in 1 patient only. Conclusions. The obtained results substantiate recommendation to clinical application the suggested method of organ-saving operation aimed to preserve the physiological function of the pyloroduodenal area, which excludes perforated ulcers suturing without pyloric stenosis elimination and gastrectomy on the background of peritonitis.

The aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of X-ray interventions in arosive bleeding in patients with complicated duodenal ulcer. Materials and methods. X-ray endovascular interventions were used in 8 patients who developed arosive bleeding as a complication of duodenal ulcer. All patients with signs of gastrointestinal bleeding were examined according to clinical protocols. Hemodynamically stable patients underwent X-ray endovascular interventions. Results and discussion. In the near future, bleeding stopped in all 8 (100 %, OR–0.04 [0.005–0.29], p=0.03) patients. On day 2, two patients who underwent embolization of their own hepatic artery had a recurrence of bleeding (0.56 [0.065–4.76], p=0.29). Repeated angiography and embolization attempts were ineffective, and both patients died. In patients who underwent gastroduodenal and pancreatouodenal artery embolization, bleeding did not resume. Thus, we obtained good results as 6 out of 8 patients recovered (75 %), despite the severity of their condition and a disappointing prognosis (OR–9.0 [1.0–46.7], p <0.05). Conclusions. Adherence to the tactics mentioned above in the treatment of bleeding in duodenal ulcer was highly effective, especially in superselective embolization with the detection of bleeding gel. If the presence of arosive bleeding is confirmed, emergency surgical treatment with suturing of the damaged vessel is shown in hemodynamically unstable patients, and endovascular intervention is possible in hemodynamically stable patients. Further studies are needed to determine the criteria for a high risk of arosive bleeding developing in patients with complicated duodenal ulcer as well as to prevent its occurrence through the use of X-ray endovascular interventions.

Objective. To estimate the efficacy of intravascular embolization in profuse hemorrhage from complicated duodenal ulcers. Materials and methods. Into the investigation 80 patients were included, operated for the profuse hemorrhage complication of duodenal ulcers, penetrating into pancreatic head. The patients were distributed into two groups: the control - 40 patients, in whom the standard methods of the hemorrhage arrest were applied, and the main - 40 patients, in whom the method elaborated was used. Results. In the main group in postoperative period the complications have had occur in 1 (2.5±0.2%) patients (p<0.001) only - the duodenal fistula development. There was verified, that the best results of hemostasis in hemorrhage from penetrating duodenal ulcers were obtained in the patients of the main group, in whom іntraoperative endovascular arrest of the hemorrhage together with the ulcer suturing was applied, because in 100% of patients of this group the definite hemostasis was achieved. Conclusion. The proposed method of intraoperative endovascular arrest of hemorrhage from penetrating duodenal ulcer guarantees a qualitative hemostasis, lowers the rate of the hemorrhage early recurrence and the need for relaparotomy performance, and raises the surgical treatment quality.

Purpose: To analyze and highlight the most effective methods of surgical treatment of complicated duodenal ulcer (DU) depending on its location. Material and methods. 86 patients underwent surgery for complicated combined pyloroduodenal ulcers. All patients with signs of gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation were examined according to clinical protocols. Patients were operated on by various surgical techniques depending on the location of DU. Further the analysis of different methods of surgical treatment of the pathology under study at its various localizations was carried out. Results. It has been established that in complicated combined pyloroduodenal ulcers with localization in the pyloric canal antrumectomy is the method of priority. If duodenum ulcer is complicated by bleeding, excision with pyloroplasty is the method of priority. Suture ulceration with pyloroplasty can be considered as an alternative method of treatment. It has been verified that in complicated duodenal ulcers, exteriorization and suturing of the ulcer have the lowest efficiency. The most frequently used method of duodenal ulcers of any localization treatment was excision of the ulcer with pyloroplasty. 6 (41.8 ± 0.053%).patients had been operated on by this method. In the second place in terms of universality was ulcer’s suturing with pyloroplasty - 22 patients or (25.5 ± 0.047%). The third was the method of exteriorization and suturing of ulcers, which accounted for 10 patients (11.6 ± 0.034%).
