Overview
Surgery for peptic ulcer is indicated for bleeding and perforated peptic ulcer. Bleeding ulcers are usually treated first with endoscopic therapy but if they bleed after endoscopic therapy, surgery is done to control bleeding. Perforated peptic ulcer is an emergency, immediate laparoscopic closure of ulcer is required.
Surgery
Indications
- Indications for surgical treatment of peptic ulcer:
- Bleeding peptic ulcer
- Perforated peptic ulcer
Surgical Options
Bleeding peptic ulcer
The primary goal of a bleeding peptic ulcer is hemorrhage control. The preferred operative approach to a peptic ulcer depends on the location of the ulcer, and for this, it is important for the surgeon to be present during upper GI endoscopy to have precise information on the location of the ulcer. It is discussed under two subtypes:
- Bleeding gastric ulcer
- duodenal ulcer
Different surgical treatment options for refractory or complicated bleeding peptic ulcer disease are:
- Vagotomy and pyloroplasty
- Vagotomy and antrectomy with gastroduodenal reconstruction (Billroth I)
- Gastrojejunal reconstruction (Billroth II)
- Highly selective vagotomy
Bleeding gastric ulcers
Bleeding gastric ulcers are treated according to the location of ulcers. They are generally best treated by excision of the ulcer and repair of the resulting gastric defect. Excision or biopsy of the ulcer is important, as 4–5% of benign-appearing ulcers are actually malignant ulcers.[1][2]
- Ulcers along the greater curvature and lesser curvature of the stomach, antrum or body of the stomach are treated by:
- Wedge excision of the ulcer and closure of the defect
- Distal gastric ulcers along the lesser curvature in the area of the incisura angularis are treated by:
- A distal gastrectomy with either a Billroth I or Billroth II reconstruction
- Proximal gastric ulcer near the gastroesophageal (GE) junction are treated by:
- Csendes procedure, a distal gastrectomy with the tongue-shaped extension of the lesser curve resection margin to include the ulcer
- Further Roux-en-Y esophagogastrojenjunostomy is done to prevent defects of stomach
Bleeding duodenal ulcers
The standard approach to a bleeding duodenal ulcer
- Perform an anterior longitudinal duodenotomy
- Classically a truncal vagotomy is performed to reduce the risk of recurrent ulceration
- Transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE) should be the first line therapy for recurrent bleeding after duodenotomy and ulcer oversewing[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Perforated peptic ulcer
- Perforated peptic ulcer is an surgical emergency
- Immediate laparoscopic closure of perforated peptic ulcer is the treatment of choice[11]
