          Abstract

          The purpose of this study was to determine postoperative outcomes and risk factors for morbidity and mortality in patients requiring surgery for bleeding peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Vagotomy and drainage procedures are technically simpler but are usually associated with higher ulcer recurrence rates. In contrast, vagotomy and resection approaches offer lower ulcer recurrences but represent much more challenging operations and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality.
