title: [The surgical treatment of stomach ulcer in young patients].
abstract: Clinical observations of 247 patients with ulcer disease of the stomach younger than 30 years of age were analyzed. Ulcers of the body and the proximal part of the stomach were diagnosed in 39 patients, associated gastroduodenal ulcers--in 37 patients, pyloric and propyloric ulcers in 171 patients. Conservative treatment was effective almost in 2/3 of the patients. Surgical treatment included resection of the stomach and vagotomy with draining operations. Vagotomy used in gastric ulcer can be considered valid in patients of young age.
