Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Gastroenterology
- Pediatric Ulcer Disease
Context:
- Analysis of 36 operative procedures for ulcer disease complications in pediatric patients.
- Focus on severe surgical manifestations including perforation and bleeding.
Purpose:
- To highlight the critical nature of ulcer disease complications in children and juveniles.
- To emphasize the need for prompt diagnosis and intervention.
Summary:
- 30 cases involved ulcer perforation, 4 involved bleeding.
- One case presented with pancreatic penetration and bleeding; another with gastric perforation and bleeding.
- Operative procedures were performed for these severe complications.
Impact:
- Underscores the high severity of ulcer disease complications in the pediatric population.

Abstract:
The authors analyze 36 cases of operative procedures for surgical complications of ulcer disease in children and juveniles. Perforation of ulcer was noted in 30 cases, bleeding--in 4 cases, combination of penetration of ulcer into the pancreas head with bleeding--in one case, in the other case--perforation of gastric ulcer with bleeding. Emphasis is laid on the severity of complications and in relation with it a question arises of early diagnosis and treatment of ulcer disease in children and juveniles.
