title: [Gastroduodenal ulcer: resection procedures (author's transl)].
abstract: In recent years vagotomy has become more and more prefered in ulcer surgery. Based on the results of prospective trials, gastric resection should be abandoned as treatment of uncomplicated duodenal ulcer. Resections are still indicated for most ulcer complications, such as bleeding, penetration of chronic ulcer, and in recurrent ulcers after vagotomy. The same is true for gastric ulcer type I. Questionnaires indicate, however, that German surgeons still favor the two-thirds resection.
