An analysis of treatment of ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum with
the help of helium-neon lasers has been made. The pathological focus (ulcer)
was influenced in two ways: through the endoscope and by means of
biologically active points. Positive effects were obtained in 96.9% of the
patients. Operations were performed on 3.1% of the patients where laser
therapy failed to give good effects. Contraindications to laser therapy were
considered to be bleeding, callous and malignant ulcers
