morbility was 28,8%, this was higher in urgent surgery, as
expected. The most frequent complica/ion were
infections (7,9%) followed by post-operative digestive
haemorrhage (4, 1%); suture failure, although infrequent,
presented 23% mortality. Ulcer recidive presented a low
incidence (6,6%) when co.'71pared to o/her series as well
