Abstract:
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) affects approximately four million people worldwide. The most common etiologies of PUD are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections, chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and smoking. A rare cause of ulcer formation is documented in patients following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures. Delayed treatment of these ulcers can further lead to ulcer perforation, erosion of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA), and fistula formation between the biliary structures and the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we discuss the case of a 69-year-old female with an ulcer perforation 19 years after RYGB, resulting in an atypical ulcer erosion of the common bile duct without fistula formation.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
