Gastric resection in emergency surgery

The success of the therapeutic treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers has also changed the attitude of surgeons to the complications of peptic ulcer. Currently, the main aim of the surgeon is to eliminate the life-threatening consequences of perforation or bleeding. In addition, methods of intraluminal endoscopy continue to develop vigorously, in some cases competing with both open and laparoscopic surgeries for perforated ulcers, and endoscopic and endovascular hemostasis is increasingly used for ulcer bleeding.Purpose. To analyze the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment of complicated gastric and duodenal ulcers and to evaluate the place of gastric resection in emergency surgery.Results. The paper analyzes the results of resection and organ-preserving gastric surgeries in perforated and bleeding ulcers using modern instruments that improve the results of the operation. As a reserve for improving the results of this intervention, one should consider performing optimal mobilization and a full revision of the ulcer defect zone, and, of course, involving a more experienced surgeon.
