title: [Treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome by endoscopic diathermocoagulation].
abstract: The work analyses the results of treatment of 111 patients with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome by endoscopic diathermocoagulation. It proved ineffective from the very beginning in 11 (9.9%) cases, in another 23 (20.7%) patients hemorrhage recurred in the immediate 4 days but in one third of them its source was another disease. The follow-up of 77 patients revealed recurrence of the disease in the late-term period (from 12 months to 9 years) after diathermocoagulation in 12 (15.6%), but only 2 of them had to be operated on. The operative mortality was 17%, but when surgery was combined with diathermocoagulation the mortality rate was 4.5%.
