[Treatment protocol for duodenal ulcers. Outlines of indications for surgery].
105 duodenal ulcer patients were examined over a two-year period. Apart from anamnesis, endoscopy and radiology, a personal treatment protocol was used to assess the indications for medical or surgical treatment. Endoscopy undeniably plays a central role in identifying the characteristics of the ulcer and its complications and will indicate medical treatment for the majority of duodenal ulcers though it also serves to confirm or modify the indication for surgery.
