Comparative assessment of treatment results in 618 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer (GDU) was carried out. 3 groups of patients were compared. Different combinations of drugs were used in 384 patients, 234 patients have undergone open resections of the stomach or organsaving operations, 83 patients--analogous laparoscopic operations. Immediate and long-term results of the treatment were studied. After drug therapy, including antihelicobacter drugs, healing of ulcers was achieved in 96.9-97.9% cases. 1 year after drug therapy the recurrence of CDU is revealed in 16.2-20.3% patients, rate of the recurrence increases with years. After surgical treatment of CDU (more often in complicated course of the disease) rate of recurrences is 2-3 times lower (6.5-7.4% cases). Laparoscopic resections of the stomach and organsaving operations are atraumatic, accompanied by physiologic course of postoperative period and reduction of postoperative complication rate.
