[Gastroduodenal ulcer refractory to conservative treatment].
This is a 20-year retrospective study on 205 patients in which surgery for gastroduodenal ulcer was performed. In 51 one of these patients (24,8%) surgery was required by drug therapy failure, cases labeled as drug-resistant ulcers. Some causes of drug therapy failure are discussed, failure being also recorded in patients who benefited from modem ulcer drugs that proved only partially effective. The authors emphasize that surgery can no longer represent a therapeutic option, an utter substantiation not only from the surgeon but also from the entire team of specialists in various investigation types and therapeutics being mandatory.
