title: [Diagnosis and therapy of stomach ulcer].
abstract: The patient suffering from gastric ulcer disease needs more attention than one suffering from duodenal ulcer disease, especially regarding the necessity of endoscopic bioptic control of healing, which is vital to ensure that malignancy is not missed. Greater patience is also necessary during therapy, since a gastric ulcer is generally larger than a duodenal ulcer and more time is thus necessary for complete healing. Otherwise the natural course of the disease and the therapeutic requirements for acute and maintenance treatment are similar. This also relates to the indication for surgery.
