Surgical intervention for benign peptic ulcer disease is declining due to effective medications. Delayed operative intervention for bleeding ulcers significantly increases mortality, while surgical procedures for obstruction and chronicity show no mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Benign peptic ulcer disease (PUD) historically required surgical intervention for complications.
  • Indications for surgery included hemorrhage, perforation, obstruction, and chronicity.
  • The advent of effective acid-suppressing medications has altered PUD management paradigms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review operative procedures for benign PUD over a six-year period.
  • To analyze surgical outcomes based on indications and patient demographics.
  • To assess the impact of evolving medical treatments on surgical necessity for PUD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of all surgical procedures for benign PUD.
  • Data collected from a regional hospital over a six-year period.

  • Analysis of indications for surgery, patient demographics, transfusion requirements, and mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Hemorrhage was a common indication, with 38 of 246 bleeding patients requiring surgery.
    • Patients undergoing surgery for bleeding who received an average of 7.2 blood units recovered.
    • Deaths occurred in severely bleeding patients receiving an average of 15.7 blood units.
    • Gastric resection with vagotomy was successful for obstruction (18 patients) and chronicity (9 patients) with no mortality.
    • Perforated ulcers were successfully treated with gastric resection and vagotomy (20 patients).

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed operative intervention for bleeding peptic ulcers is associated with increased mortality.
    • Surgical treatment for obstruction and chronicity in PUD demonstrated favorable outcomes without mortality.
    • The need for elective surgical procedures for PUD is diminishing with advancements in medical management.
