Abstract
Two cases are reported, where severe postoperative septic infection de veloped after gastric resection without surgical technical complicatio n. Both patients had had long preoperative therapy with omeprazole and no perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis was given in either of the ca ses. The other of the cases was fatal. The need for an effective perio perative prophylaxis in gastric surgery together with drugs creating g astric achlorhydria is discussed.
