Abstract
A prospective controlled study in 60 patients undergoing simple closure of perforated duodenal ulcer demonstrated a significant (P less than 0.05) benefit following postoperative cimetidine treatment, in terms of avoiding subsequent dyspeptic symptoms and complications of peptic ulcer disease. Thus cimetidine is recommended in the follow-up management of perforated duodenal ulcers.Entities:
