Abstract
A high gastric ulcer may be treated by excision, or the ulcer may be retained and healing encouraged by other means. If the ulcer is retained there is a small but definite risk of malignancy. Neither gastric drainage, nor the KellingβMadlener operation, nor vagotomy and pyloroplasty ensures healing in a high gastric ulcer. Local wedge resection of the ulcer is attended by very poor results, and a high mortality and morbidity preclude the use of subtotal or total gastrectomy. Pauchet's procedure combines the advantages of limited gastrectomy and gastroduodenal anastomosis with complete removal of the ulcer. It is the recommended operation for high gastric ulcers.
