[Incidence and characteristics of complicated forms of gastric ulcer].

The frequency and certain specific features of compound forms of the gastric ulcerous disease were studied in 762 operated patients. The most frequent causes of operations for the gastric ulcerous disease were stenosis (28, 3%) chronic ulcers (25%), perforation (21.7%), hemorrhages (14.4%), penetrations (10.6%). Malignization of ulcers was noted in 15% of patients. A complex investigation of the secretory function of the stomach allowed distinguishing two groups of gastric ulcers accompanied by hypo- or hypersecretory syndrome.
