Title: [Results of Billroth I and Billroth II stomach resection].
Abstract: Between 1966 and 1986, Billroth I and Billroth II resections for gastroduodenal ulcers were performed at the Department of Surgery, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena. Early postoperative complications after Billroth II (14.6%) were somewhat rarer than after Billroth I (19.4%), however, bore a greater risk. With a permanent cure accounting for 85%, the comparison of both procedures reveals no significant differences in the late results. In gastric ulcer, Billroth's first method should be given preference because it can be carried out more rapidly in technical respect and takes digestive physiology into account.
