A stomach ulcer may require surgery, but these cares are rare. This could be the case if the ulcer fails to heal properly, if it is bleeding, or if there is a tear in the stomach. The surgeon could take out the entire ulcer, or maybe they will patch over the ulcer with tissue removed from another area of the intestine. The exact procedure required depends on the nature of the damage the ulcer is causing.
