[Experience with the early health resort rehabilitation of patients who have undergone a surgical intervention for peptic ulcer].

The present article focuses on the analysis of results of health-resort rehabilitative treatment of 49 patients operated on for gastric and duodenal ulcer, in the early postoperative period (by day 20). The treatments were administered at the health-promotion centre Iuzhnyĭ [correction of "Yuzhny"] (Mirgorod), the Mirgorod mineral water having been taken as a basis of said treatment. A conclusion was reached to the effect that the optimum term for entering the patients into the rehabilitative project and ensuring their complication-free status is day 20 after the operation. This study addresses the issue of the effects Helicobacter pylori has on the inflammatory processes in the remaining portion of the stomach. The presence of Helicobacter pylori in the above portion of the stomach suggests it has no part in the etiology of its inflammatory processes.
