title: Choice of operation for acute gastric mucosal hemorrhage. Report of 36 cases and review of literature.
abstract: The results of operative treatment of thirty-six patients with acute gastric mucosal hemorrhage are presented. Alcohol and surgery/trauma were the most frequent causes, and renal failure, sepsis, or multisystem disease caused most deaths; overall mortality was 44 per cent. Vagotomy-pyloroplasty and vagotomy-resection are compared, and no statistically significant difference in rebleeding, reoperation for bleeding, or mortality is identified.
