[Long-term results of gastric ulcers chemotherapy].
OBJECTIVE
Determination of criteria of choice of gastric ulcer (GU) treatment.


METHODS
904 GU patients given conservative drug therapy in 1986-1996 were followed up.


RESULTS
Recurrences of GU can be of three types: type 1--rare recurrences (once in 10-11 years), type 2--recurrences occur twice for 10-11 years), type 3--recurrences occur every 1.5 years).


CONCLUSIONS
A simple criterion of assessing effectiveness of conservative treatment of uncomplicated ulcers is proposed. It is duration of remission. If the recurrence occurs within 1.5 years after the treatment, the patient is at risk of frequent recurrence. In such cases surgical treatment is justified.
