[Endoscopic nerve block of the acid-producing area of the stomach in the treatment of duodenal ulcer].

The work describes the method of endoscopic medicamentous++ block of the acid-producing zone of the stomach (EMB AZS) and the results of its use in the treatment of 135 patients with duodenal ulcer. It is shown that EMB AZS leads to a significant reduction of acid production and does not disturb the motor-evacuation activity of the stomach and duodenum, which allows it to be considered a pathogenetically substantiated method of nonoperative management of chronic duodenal ulcer. The authors evaluate the clinical efficacy of EMB AZS in recurrent ulcer after operation on the stomach caused by a high level of acid production and ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding. A conclusion is made on the expediency of including EMB AZS in the complex of therapeutic measures for these diseases.
