Medical treatment of stomal ulcers.
Thirty-five patients with anastomotic ulcer after gastric resection for benign ulcer disease were treated with sucralfate (Antepsin) and endoscopically controlled over a 6-month period after termination of the medical treatment. The healing frequency of 75% makes this model a suitable alternative in the treatment of stomal ulcers.
