Helicobacter - What is it when you need to be hospitalised?

Question

I just found out that my Mum's got a something called "Helicobacter". She also told me that she needs to go to hospital to have a stomac operation, and that she will probably have to stay in for 10 days. Any ideas of what she could have? I read on the internet that it is a bacteria, but I did not find any other information about having an operation. Thank you.
