From 1968 to 1979 881 patients suffering from peptic ulcerations were seen at the Surgical Dept. of the "Medizinische Akademie - Dresden". In a percentage of 2.04 these ulcers were located in the oesophagus (n = 18) near the cardia. Due to the high rate of complications following conservative treatment the authors recommend resection of the oesophageal ulcers and oesophago-gastrostomy. After operation no gastro-oesophageal reflux could be observed.
