Abstract
Peptic ulcers recur after approximately 5% of operations. Incomplete or inadequate initial surgery is the leading cause. Reoperation is necessary in 30% to 70% of these cases despite aggressive medical treatment. An individual approach to reoperation is mandatory to limit the morbidity, mortality, and re-recurrence rates.
