Abstrakt: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) poses a significant global healthcare challenge, with an intricate interplay between stomach acid-pepsin levels and mucosal protective mechanisms. The emergence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as a major etiological factor revolutionized the therapeutic landscape, highlighting the importance of bacterial eradication in PUD management. Surgical intervention remains vital, particularly in cases of perforated peptic ulcers, despite a shift towards conservative approaches. Understanding the impact of H. pylori eradication on surgical outcomes is crucial for optimizing PUD management. This systematic review was conducted to assess how H. pylori eradication treatment impacts surgical results in patients with PUD. The criteria for inclusion involved research studies on individuals aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of PUD that necessitated surgical treatment. Important results comprised eradication rates, complications after surgery, recurrence rates, and overall outcomes for patients. Two researchers independently screened and extracted data from electronic databases using a thorough search strategy. The evaluation of quality employed standardized instruments for randomized controlled trials and cohort studies. Nine research projects met the requirements for inclusion, offering information on the effectiveness of H. pylori elimination treatment on surgical results. Different rates of eradication were noted, with a notable number of patients experiencing postoperative complications. Recurrence of ulcers was a concern, despite treatment, emphasizing the complexity of PUD management. Studies have shown that eradication therapy is effective in certain patient groups, like young men with perforated peptic ulcers. Still, there are obstacles, especially for patients who test negative for H. pylori and experience recurring ulcers. The integration of H. pylori eradication with surgical intervention represents a holistic approach to PUD management. Although eradication therapy has the potential to enhance surgical results, difficulties remain, requiring personalized treatment approaches that consider patients' unique characteristics and the cause of the disease. This research adds to the growing knowledge of PUD treatment, stressing the importance of proper management.
