| Abstract | This study has demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori is present both at the ulcer edge and antrum in a large percentage of perforated ulcers, and ulcer relapse in the form of perforation is probably correlated with pre-existing H. pylori infection. What remains to be evaluated is the relationship between the presence/absence of infection and future replapse, and perhaps also H. pylori eradication and relapse, in PPU patients treated with simple repair only. |
