Maintenance of healing gastric ulcer

The maintenance of healing gastric ulcer is a therapeutic clinical state in gastrointestinal medicine focused on preventing the relapse of a previously documented, fully epithelialized ulceration of the stomach lining It primarily targets adult patients with high-risk features for ulcer recurrence, including persistent ulcerogenic exposures, a history of complicated ulcer disease, or refractory idiopathic peptic disease

Gastric ulcers represent distinct mucosal breaks in the stomach wall extending through the muscularis mucosae, commonly driven by *Helicobacter pylori* infection, ongoing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug exposure, or impaired mucosal defense against gastric acid and pepsin
