title: [Retrospective studies on stress ulcer].
abstract: The files of 100 stress-ulcer-patients (1960-1973) were carefully analyzed. These patients had usually complicated diseases before they developed stress ulcers. Melena was in 84 patients the initial symptom. 56 patients were treated by medical regimen, 34 patients underwent surgery. A partial gastrectomy was the procedure of choice except for poor-risk patients, who underwent vagotomy.
