ABSTRACT

For management of bleeding gastro duodenal ulcer, endoscopy is primary treatment and has significantly reduced surgery rate. But in patients where bleeding is not controlled by endoscopy and interventional radiology, surgery is most important treatment [1]. Peptic ulcer disease was one of the most common indication for gastric surgery but now infrequently requires operation, the development of potent antisecretory agents (H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors) and the recognition [2] that treatment for H pylori infection can eliminate most ulcer recurrences, therefore the need of emergency surgery is decreasing [3]. But, complications related to peptic ulcer disease are same in numbers which includes bleeding, perforation, and gastric outlet obstruction. Surgical management remains important since surgery is the mainstay of emergency treatment of above mentioned lifethreatening complications and for disease that is not responding to medical treatment.
