The aim: Is to determine the tactics and methods of treatment of bezoars of the gastrointestinal tract. Materials and methods: From 2001 to 2019, 17 patients were diagnosed with “bezoar”. Results: Due to the “weariness” of the clinic, the diagnosis was made in the first 3 days only for 3 (17,6 %) patients. On the basis of the obtained average pH values for 4 (23,5 %) patients established moderate hypoacid, for 4 (23,5 %) - pronounced hypoacid, for 6 (35,3 %) - anacid. For 5 (29,4 %) patients, the bezoars were withdrawn on the first attempt, while the other 5 (29,4 %) were “lumped”. In the course of fibrogastroscopic examination, all patients were diagnosed with impaired motor-evacuation function of the stomach: gastroesophageal and duodenogastric refluxes, presence of passive discharge of the contents of the stomach into the esophagus. Conclusions: Therefore, the preconditions for the development of bezoars may be: hypo- and anacid, impaired motor-evacuation function of the stomach, chronic gastric ulcer,cognitive impairment. Endoscopic method should be preferred in the treatment, on condition of its failure - laparoscopic gastrotomy with bezoar extraction.
