The analysis of the results of treatment of 97 patients who were operated from surgical diseases of the cardiac stomach. Proximal gastric resection (PRG) was performed using isoperistaltic jejunogastroplasty (modified by Merendino-Dillard) (50 people – group I) and with direct esophagogastroanastomosis (47 people – group II). 12 and 24 months after the operation, an X-ray and endoscopic examination of the upper digestive tract was performed, assessing the severity of functional disorders

After 2 years or more, 5.9% of patients ate more than 6 times a day in group I, while in group II, 23.3% (p <0.05). 67.6% of patients in group I and 36.7% in group II returned to their previous (as before the illness) diet – 3-4 times a day (p <0.05). After 24 months or more, in group II, the average weight of patients did not exceed preoperative indicators (95.9 ± 0.25%), while in group I, there was an increase in the average weight of 109.9 ± 0.13%. (p <0.05). The frequency of reflux esophagitis was observed in 8 (9.3%) cases: in group I – in 2 (4.5%) and in group II-in 6 (14.3%) (p <0.05) According to the authors, the PRG with the reconstruction of the digestive tract according to Meredino-Dilard creates optimal conditions for a faster and better recovery of functional parameters and demonstrates how significant and effective the performed surgical treatment is.
