Progress in clarifying the etiology, pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease and the development of new methods of treatment did not lead to a decrease in surgical interventions for urgent and urgent reasons. At the same time, the quality of life of patients is the lowest after gastrectomy. Vagotomy to a lesser extent affects the quality of life, comparable to non-surgical treatment

The aim of the study was to study the frequency and nature of episodes of heartburn and bloating in patients with duodenal and gastric ulcers in the Georgian population, considering the histomorphological and morphometric changes of the gastric mucosa and the parameters of gastric secretion. At the same time, we were interested in analyzing patients' anamnesis before being hospitalized for the last 2 months. The analysis of the material showed that incidence of heartburn episodes in the Georgian population is clearly higher in patients with peptic ulcer disease 12 - (79.9%) than in patients with gastric ulcer (9 - 31.9%). Episodes of heartburn in these patients are characterized not only by increasing of rate (more than 50 episodes), both day and night, but the intensity and duration (which is due to abnormal gastroesophageal reflux). This is a high risk for the occurrence of heartburn episodes. As for bloating, it was detected in patients with duodenal ulcer (11–26.2%), in gastric ulcer 11– (32.9%). The main pathogenetic aspects of heartburn episodes were found to be diffuse fundal glands hyperplasia and high acidity (duodenal ulcer and pyloric anterior ulcer). It was also found that a large percentage of patients were not treated properly, leading to impaired ability to work and changes in quality of life and disease progression.
