The concept has been that the chronically distended stomach found in patients with pyloric or duodenal obstruction was slow to empty after operation, lacked active peristalsis, and was more susceptible to postvagectomy atony. In a retrospective study of 700 patients undergoing operation for benign ulcers of the stomach or duodenum at The Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1952 to 1965,8 attention was directed to the operative and postoperative management of a group of 65 patients with obstructing ulcers. The purpose of the study was to evaluate
