[Active policy in treatment of bleeding ulcer: update].
Results of treatment of 2256 patients with ulcerous gastroduodenal bleeding are analyzed. From 1993 to 2000 continued bleeding and high risk of it were indications for urgent surgery. Postoperative lethality after surgeries in active bleeding was 9.3%. Experience with endoscopic hemostasis limits indications for urgent surgeries. Results of treatment during two period were compared: when active surgical policy was used (486 patients) and when endoscopic hemostasis was often performed (503 patients). Surgical activity during the latter period reduced significantly (from 52.3 to 31.5%). Postoperative lethality decreased from 9.45 to 6.25%, total lethality -- from 4.94 to 2.36%.
