Operations for stomach ulcers are not done so frequently. With the introduction of new drugs most ulcers can be cured and treated with antibiotics. Surgery for an abdominal ulcer is really a last resort, after all medication and lifestyle changes have failed to repair the ulcerations.

An ulcer can form in the lining of the stomach as well as in the duodenum, the upper portion of the small intestine which is most often the location of an ulcer. Nearly all of the ulcers in the gastric system are caused by a bacterial infection called H. Pylori. If surgery is required access is from the upper abdomen.

Although surgery is rarely performed to treat ulcers it is done in cases of ulcers that do not heal or complications such as a perforation or severe bleeding. Surgery for ulcers can involve cutting nerves to the stomach, removing part of the stomach and/or widening the opening of the stomach.
