Abstract

Affecting approximately 2% of the population, peptic ulcer disease is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases in the USA. Despite the increased use of proton pump inhibitors, rates of hospitalizations and mortality for elderly patients has increased. This chapter outlines risk factors, diagnostic modalities, and the Modified Johnson Classification system and treatment options including surgical procedures. Peptic ulcer disease can also lead to several complications including perforation, bleeding and gastric outlet obstruction, all of which are briefly described including the management of each condition.
