Abstract
A series of 50 cases following Billroth I and II gastric resection with recurrent ulceration diagnosed by gastrophotography was investigated to establish the incidence, size, depth, and location of different types of ulceration. Peptic stomal ulcer was the most common and suture-line ulcer, with protruding suture material, the rarest type of ulcer. The peptic stomal ulcers were concentrated within a small area on the lesser curvature and the jejunal ulcers within the posterior half of the intestine towards the efferent loop. The prospects of diagnosing superficial ulcers by conventional roentgenography were extremely poor and many shallow ulcers were also missed especially following Billroth II resection. After this type of operation the stomal ulcers were most easily overlooked.
