Question:
What are surgical options for gastric ulcers?
Author: H KAnswer:
Surgery is rarely indicated except for complications or lack of healing (to rule out malignancy). Antrectomy for types I and II. Highly selective vagotomy for type III. Subtotal gastrectomy followed by Roux-en-Y esophagogastrojejunostomy for type IV.
