  • Title: Effect of H2 antagonists on outcome of simple closure for perforated duodenal ulcer.
    Author: Koh KB, Chang KW.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1992 Oct; 33(5):472-3. PubMed ID: 1360708.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer is controversial. Since the advent of H2 antagonists, the number of ulcer operations has declined tremendously. We wanted to find out if the addition of a H2 antagonist after simple closure of a perforated duodenal ulcer would change the outcome and therefore reviewed 46 patients treated in this fashion. Our results show that this is a safe and effective way of treating patients with perforated duodenal ulcer.
