Razumov AN, Voznesenskaia OA.

20 patients with gastric ulcer and 82 ones with duodenal ulcer received basic chemotherapy. 23 patients with gastric ulcer and 97 patients with duodenal ulcer were treated with EHF-puncture. Pain and dyspeptic syndromes in EHF-puncture patients were relieved 2.5-3 times quicker than in chemotherapy. Time of scarring of ulcer defect reduced, on the average, 1.5-fold. Fibrogastroduodenoscopy detected mucosal erosions in 55% of patients with gastric and 26% of duodenal ulcer patients given ampicillin. In patients treated with EHF-puncture erosions were found in 2.2% of patients.
