[Personal experience in the treatment of peptic ulcer in childhood]. / Nase iskustvo u lijecenju pepticne ulceracije u djecijoj dobi.

Cases of peptic ulcer among children are not as rare as we usually think. In treating cases with complications, operative treatment should be preferred securing the natural anatomic structure and physiology of the stomach and duodenum. In cases of perforation we made sutures with or without excision. Those cases with the onset of bleeding were treated by ligation of the blood vessel if the bleeding could not be controlled otherwise. Therapy of preventing the occurrence of peptic ulcer should be conducted by those patients who are highly susceptible, as well as by those who peptic ulcer, following the disappearance of complication.
