From 1975 to 1989, 97 patients with ulcer diseases and concomitant obesity were operated on at the Tashkent branch of the All-Union Scientific Surgical Centre, Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The patients with a gastroduodenal ulcer, II and higher degree of morbid obesity accounted for 2.4% of the total number of patients operated on for ulcer disease. Gastric ulcer was diagnosed in 20 patients, a duodenal one--in 77. All the patients were operated on for disease complications. Of them, 36 underwent Billroth-II gastric resection, the remaining patients--Billroth-I gastric resection and truncal vagotomy with drainage operation. The best immediate result was noted after performance of truncal vagotomy with drainage operation. Use of gastric resection in a given category of patients is accompanied by the development of a large number of local and general complications.
