Abstract

In 1995-1997 at the First Surgical Clinic, Medical Faculty, Palacký University and Faculty Hospital Olomouc three patients were treated on account of obstruction of the pyloroduodenal region caused by Crohn's disease. The condition was treated by anastomosis, possibly with vagotomy, depending on the site of stenosis. Clinical, laboratory and endoscopic control examinations after a 6-month to 3-year interval revealed good results of this approach.
