ABSTRACT
Sixty-six patients having surgery for recurrent peptic ulcers over a 10-year period are reviewed. The majority of the patients were male and developed their initial ulcers at an early age. Bleeding was the most common presenting symptom. Seventy-one percent of the recurrences occurred within three years. Barium meal X-ray examination plus endoscopy gave the correct diagnosis in 96% of cases. The causes of the recurrent peptic ulcers were (1) incomplete vagotomy; (2) inadequate gastric resection; (3) inappropriate surgery; (4) Zollinger-Ellison syndrome; (5) gastric outflow obstruction; and (6) bile reflux. Other factors such as alcohol, analgesic abuse and psychiatric disorders were found to be common associations. Resection plus vagotomy was the summation of primary and secondary surgery in 85%. The operative mortality was 3%. Eighty-five percent of patients had a Visick grading of I or II. Only one patient had a further recurrent ulcer and this healed on medical treatment.
