Baily & Love 67: The Stomach and Duodenum

This episode examines surgical conditions of the stomach and duodenum, including peptic ulcer disease, gastric outlet obstruction, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and malignancy.Listeners are guided through risk factors, acute presentations, investigation pathways, and operative principles. The episode balances emergency scenarios with elective disease, emphasising decision-making under pressure and the importance of haemodynamic stability.This chapter teaches clinicians to recognise when medical management has reached its limits — and when surgery becomes lifesaving rather than optional.
