[Characteristics of the treatment of persistent gastric ulcers]

Three variants of persistent gastric ulcers have been distinguished for the first time: primary torpid, torpid progressive, torpid favourable. This should be taken into consideration in treatment, which is based on therapeutic tactics used for primary torpid ulcer. Treatment of torpid favourable as well as torpid progressive ulcers should be based on the effectiveness of the previously used means. Treatment in the period of relative remission requires special attention. In the absence of the effect, two latter variants of ulcers should be treated in the same way as primary torpid ulcers.
