Summary
Good results were obtained with medical management in a group of patients with severe obstruction of the stomach due to duodenal ulcer. The success of the medical approach outlined suggests the following conclusions:
- 1
An intensive trial of medical treatment is indicated for all patients with obstruction due to ulcer.
- 2
Recurrence of adequately managed obstruction is not frequent; 75 per cent of the patients had no recurrence in the average follow-up period of 56 months.
- 3
A recurrent episode of obstruction may respond to further medical treatment.
