Abstract

Observations over 130 patients who underwent radical operation for gastric carcinoma showed that survival is higher among those who received rehabilitation measures and that post-gastroresection complications occurred in them 1.5-2 times less frequently than in the control group; 39.2% of patients who were given rehabilitation therapy and only 15.8% of patients in the control group resumed occupational activity. The authors worked out an optimal plan of restorative treatment according to the character and severity of the postresection complications.
