In the paper, the causes, clinic and treatment in 15 patients with recurrent peptic ulcer after repeated operative procedures for duodenal ulcer are described. The main causes of the recurrence were as follows: the remaining of the mucous membrane of the antral gastric portion in Finsterer gastric resection for ulcer exclusion (5) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (10). The surgical therapy consisted in resection of the antral portion and repeated gastric resection (the first group) or in subtotal gastrectomy associated with trunk vagotomy (the second group).
