Purpose: to present the literature review of foreign researchers devoted to the modern trends of complications treatment in patients with peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer disease. Material and methods. Literature sources in English on this topic in PubMed, MEDUNE, Google Scholar databases were analyzed. The review highlights clinical studies devoted to the treatment of complications of gastric and duodenal ulcer disease: ulcer bleeding, perforative ulcer, and pyloroduodenal stenosis. Conclusion.
