[Incidence of ulcer disease among patients of the Detmold Surgical Clinic 1949-1989].
Between 1949 and 1989 2,042 patients with peptic ulcer disease were treated operatively. The incidence of operations increased markedly after 1949, reached a summit from 1964 to 1978, and decreased thereafter steadily. Different from this trend there was a continuous rise in operations for peptic ulcers in women since 1949 in particular in ulcus perforations. Moreover it could be demonstrated that the need for surgery because of severe complications of ulcus disease effects mainly elderly patients.
