title: [Hemorrhagic gastroduodenal ulcer: when is it necessary to operate?].
abstract: In the context of severe haemorrhage from peptic ulcers, surgery remains the safest method of haemostasis, but at the cost of a relatively high mortality. The time of surgery constitutes one of the prognostic factors. It has been demonstrated that the mortality increases significantly with the delay in operation and recurrent haemorrhages; it is therefore important to operate rapidly on patients at risk of recurrence and therefore to determine the clinical and endoscopic criteria capable of predicting this recurrence.
