Gastric devascularization--an emergency treatment for hemorrhagic gastritis in the neonate.
A newborn baby suffering from massive hemorrhage due to erosive gastritis, was treated successfully by devascularization of the stomach which is a rather simple procedure. Experience with adults as well as with this patient justifies the use of this operation when other measures fail to stop massive bleeding in hemorrhagic gastritis.
