: It is frequently used to monitor "artificial ulcers" created during Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)

The is a globally recognized endoscopic grading system used to evaluate the life cycle and healing stages of peptic (specifically gastric) ulcers. Developed in Japan, it provides clinicians with a standardized framework to assess whether an ulcer is in an active, healing, or scarring phase. This classification directly informs treatment efficacy and determines the duration of acid-suppressive therapy. 🔬 Classification Breakdown sakitamiwa classification

💡 Doctors use this system to determine if a treatment—like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) —is working. An ulcer is medically considered "cured" once it reaches the S1 or S2 stage.

The ulcer base becomes a red, thin scar (red scar stage). The ulcer is officially considered healed, even if the tissue is still remodeling. – Possibly in fields like traditional medicine, botany,

For more specific information on how healing stages are assessed, studies like this randomized trial are useful, say researchers in Gut and Liver (2026).

The ulcer is significantly smaller. The regenerating epithelium covers most of the base, leaving only a tiny central defect. 3. Scarring Stage (S1 & S2) The ulcer base becomes a red, thin scar (red scar stage)

infection or NSAID use to prevent a return to the "A" stage. Conclusion
