Surgery for massive gastric ulcers pays attention to the nature of the ulcer lesion, diet and timely review.
Gastric ulcers are ulcers that occur in the lining of the stomach. Large gastric ulcers are defined as a single ulcer larger than 2.5cm in diameter, or multiple ulcers fused to form a large ulcer.
Clinical symptoms caused by large gastric ulcers are more serious, commonly stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, can cause indigestion, weight loss, gastrointestinal bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock and other symptoms.
Large gastric ulcers may be transformed into gastric cancer, and once transformed into gastric cancer, it is a great threat to human body. Therefore, large gastric ulcers are often treated with surgical resection, i.e. most of the stomach is removed.
When surgical resection is performed, attention should be paid to retaining specimens for pathological examination to identify the benign or malignant nature of the ulcer. After surgery, attention should be paid to dietary habits, such as light diet, small and frequent meals, avoid spicy and pickled food; meanwhile, regular rechecks should be conducted, and professional doctors should be consulted promptly when any abnormality is found.
When large gastric ulcers are identified for surgical treatment, specimens should be retained to determine the nature of the lesion, and further treatment should be guided according to the nature of the lesion, and if there is any discomfort after the operation, go to the hospital in time for consultation.
