The insurance court dismissed the claimant's request for compensation regarding illnesses diagnosed after his military service. The claimant suffered from a gastric ulcer requiring surgery, followed later by gallbladder removal and intestinal conditions. The court ruled that the gallbladder surgery was compensable due to the initial injury, but the subsequent intestinal diseases were not linked to the service.

Henkilö oli sotapalvelusta suorittaessaan joutunut sairaalahoitoon vatsahaavan takia, jolloin hänelle oli suoritettu mahalaukun typistysleikkaus. Vatsahaavan johdosta tapaturmavirasto suorittaa elinkorkoa. Sittemmin hänelle oli suoritettu sappirakon poistoleikkaus ja vuonna 1980 hänen oli todettu potevan paksunsuolen umpipussitautia ja vemmelsuolen polyyppia. VAKO epäsi korvauksen palvelusajan jälkeisistä sairauksista. VI -jaosto KKO 15.2.1984: Sappirakon poistoon johtaneet syyt liittyivät vatsahaavan leikkauksen jälkitilan synnyttämään poikkeukselliseen alttiuteen ja taipumukseen ja sappirakon poiston jälkitila oli korvattava puoleksi. Paksusuolen umpipussitauti ja vemmelsuolen polyyppi eivät oikeuttaneet korvauksen. (Lääkintöhallitus: Larmi)
