title: [Our experience with esophagogastric hemorrhages].
abstract: A study was made of 129 cases of upper digestive hemorrhage in patients with portal hypertension admitted at the Surgical Clinic of the Institute of Medicine of Chişinău. About 30% of the patients were late admitted, this delay being due to a misjudgment of patients' state and unawareness of the possibility a new and fatal hemorrhage may occur. A change in Blakemore tube design was done. Its use together with the routine hemostatic therapy resulted in hemostasis and discharge of 42% of the admitted patients. When conservative treatment failed and a recurrence of hemorrhage was imminent, emergency surgery was performed. The Tanner-Petrov surgery, splenorenal anastomosis and various types of organopexy combined with splenectomy proved to be the most successful. General lethality in the patients subjected to these surgeries was 6.2%, a smaller figure than that mentioned in the literature.
