Gastric Ulcer and Surgery

Abstract

Gastric ulcer is a type of peptic ulcer disease, and peptic ulcers are all ulcers that affect the stomach and small intestine. Gastric ulcer occurs when the thick layer of mucous membrane that protects the human stomach from digestive juices is reduced. This allows the digestive acids to corrode the tissues on the inside of the stomach wall, causing ulcers. Gastric ulcer can be cured, but without proper treatment it can become a serious problem.
