Summary/Abstract: In a group of 28 patients suffering for gastric cancer sodium and chloride balance studies were performed. The investigations were carried out before operation (steady state) and during 10 days after surgery; the postoperative period was divided into 2 parts (early – 72 hours, and later period 4–10 days). In all cases the clinical and x-ray diagnosis of cancer was confirmed during operation and by microscopic examination. In steady state sodium balance was not uniform – as well sodium equilibrium as positive and negative balance was observed. In the early postoperative period in all patients there was positive sodium balance of different intensity in particular patients. No correlation between preoperative state and early response to trauma was observed. On the contrary there was observed some influence of early p.p. on sodium balance course in later postoperative period. It may give evidence that the influence of all factors with trauma is more prolonged then there is generally accepted.
