This document discusses benign gastric and duodenal ulcers. It defines peptic ulcers as lesions in the stomach or duodenum mucosa. Gastric ulcers are caused by an imbalance of protective and damaging factors in the gastric mucosa. Duodenal ulcers are often caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or NSAID use. Medical management includes treating H. pylori infection, providing pain relief, and protecting the mucosa. Surgical procedures are indicated for complications like perforation or hemorrhage. Common procedures include vagotomy, drainage procedures like pyloroplasty, and resections like antrectomy or subtotal gastrectomy.
