[Methods of hemostasis in upper digestive tract hemorrhage].
The authors describe methods of haemostasis used nowadays in haemorrhage from the upper digestive tract. Based on evaluation of their own group of 91 patients with haemorrhage of this type they found that 13.2% of the patients with haemorrhage required surgery, when the haemorrhage was localized, 16.4%. Comprehensive treatment and endoscopic methods of haemostasis predominate while surgical treatment is used when non-surgical methods fail. The results are in favour of revision of the surgeon's position in the treatment of patients with haemorrhage from the GI tract.
