Bleeding remains on of the most fearsome complications of duodenal ulcer disease. It is, as if H2 Blockers, while never curing the ulcer, were in fact promoting its most severe forms, i.e., posterior huge ulcers, the control of which has to be a gastric resection. On the basis of a short but consecutive serie of 10 patients, the authors plead in favor of the exclusion of the ulcer from the digestive tract, using the wheeling off procedure to close the duodenal stump.
