    This study reviewed 66 patients with recurrent peptic ulcers, finding that most were male and developed ulcers early. Diagnosis was accurate with imaging, and common causes included surgical issues and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Research
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Recurrent peptic ulcers pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Understanding the causes and outcomes of surgical interventions for these ulcers is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review surgical outcomes for recurrent peptic ulcers over a decade.
    • To identify common causes, diagnostic methods, and long-term results.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 66 patients undergoing surgery for recurrent peptic ulcers.
    • Analysis of presenting symptoms, diagnostic accuracy, surgical procedures, and patient outcomes (Visick grading).

    Main Results:

    • Most patients were male, with early onset of initial ulcers; bleeding was the most common symptom.

  • Recurrences often occurred within three years; barium meal X-ray and endoscopy achieved 96% diagnostic accuracy.
  • Incomplete vagotomy, inadequate resection, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome were key causes; resection plus vagotomy was common.
  • Operative mortality was 3%, with 85% achieving good outcomes (Visick I or II).

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical management of recurrent peptic ulcers can yield good results, but underlying causes must be addressed.
    • Accurate diagnosis through imaging and appropriate surgical techniques are vital for successful treatment.
    • Associated factors like alcohol and analgesic abuse warrant consideration in patient management.
