Peptic Ulcer Disease
The Peptic
Ulcer Disease program is primarily designed to provide treatment
for patients refractory to medical therapy. Diagnostic and
medical management is provided by the physicians of the gastrointestinal
section.  This
includes extensive diagnostic acumen for endocrine based peptic
ulcer disease, other unusual form of peptic ulcer disease,
and those refractory to standard antisecretory therapy. Surgical
treatment includes both laparoscopic and open procedures.
The division has experience in secondary surgical procedures,
including treatment of peptic ulcer refractory to initial
surgery and treatment of the complications of previous gastric
surgery.
Diagnostic
evaluation is carried out in consultation with Gastroenterology
Section. It includes the availability of upper endoscopy,
gastric analysis, secretin testing, testing for post vagotomy
ulceration and screening for helicobacter pylori antibody.
