[Combined surgical treatment of duodenal ulcer and reflux esophagitis].

Under study were results of the associated surgical treatment of 349 patients with ulcer disease of the duodenum and reflux-esophagitis. The optimum operation procedure for this pathology at the present time is selective proximal vagotomy with fundoplication, while for stenosing reflux-esophagitis the preoperative bougienage of the esophagus should be used. If the bougienage is impossible, resection of the altered portion of the esophagus is necessary. In most patients such tactics gave good and excellent nearest and remote results.
