【 摘 要 】

BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment for perforated peptic ulcer is still a matter of discussion. The surgeons, for many years, made their options between acid-reducing procedures with some morbi-mortality and simpler procedures like closure of the perforation. But, in these cases, were faced with a high chance of ulcer relapse. Since the proved link between peptic ulcer and gastroduodenal infection caused by H. pylori, a recommendation for a change in their attitudes going back to simpler procedures with eradication of the bacteria was done. AIM: To analyse ulcer recurrence in patients treated with the same surgical procedure but belonging to two different groups: positive and negative to H. pilori. METHODS: A total of 144 patients were treated with simple closure of their perforated pre-pyloric, pyloric and duodenal ulcers. Thirty days after operation they were submitted to upper endoscopy and tested for the bacteria by urease and histopathological exams and divided into two groups according to the results of the tests: positive and negative. The positive ones were eradicated and, together with the negative group, were followed through six months interval endoscopies and detection tests looking for ulcer relapses and reinfection in the eradicated group. The positive group consisted of 25 patients, with two patients considered non eradicable according to the treatment protocol. They were followed for an average period of 38,21 months. RESULTS: Relapse was detected in four patients (17,39%), half of them (8,69%) were reinfected. The negative group consisted of 26 patients, with a median follow-up of 38,28 months and eight (30,76%) relapses were detected. There was no statistical significant difference due probably to the high dropout of patients. CONCLUSION: Simple suture with H. pilori eradication is the gold standard for the positive group, leaving the question of acid-reducing procedures open for the negative ones.
