title: [Role of endoscopy in the treatment of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage].
abstract: Over the past three decades important progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We discuss the endoscopic techniques available today in combination therapies. The data in the literature regarding endoscopic techniques are discordant and no single technique has proved statistically superior in the management of bleeding. We believe that the initial injection approach is still the procedure of choice, particularly when performed by less expert endoscopists.
