Abstract
A retrospective study was made of the progress of 205 patients after operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm with special reference to the method of gastric decompression used. Forty-six patients had a gastrostomy, and their mean length of stay in hospital was 8 days less, a highly significant difference.Keywords
