Abstract
The trial of a gastrointestinal tube in gastroduodenal ulcer indicates its high efficiency for enteral tube feeding in serious ulcer cases a nd as a therapeutic modality in noncomplicated cases. The tube introdu ction in 55 patient's out of 89 promoted the defect healing within 2-3 weeks, in 30 out of 36 cicatrization occurred on week 3-5. The presen ce of the tube produced no effect on acid production in the stomach, c icatrization of the ulcer took place without basic therapy in remainin g hypo-achlorhydria and hyperchlorhydria. Clinicoendoscopic evidence a nd data on gastroduodenal motility and evacuation suggest the conclusi on on the neuroreflex mechanism of the tube action which eliminates pa inful syndrome and motor-evacuatory abnormalities which are believed e ssential in pathogenesis of peptic ulcer.
