title: [The role of endoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of gastroduodenal bleedings].
abstract: The experience in diagnosis and treatment of 469 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer bleedings is presented. Sensitivity of endoscopy in detection of bleeding source was 98.8%, in detection of ulcer size -- 93.4%, specificity -- 80.6%. It is demonstrated that the most frequently recurrence of bleeding occurs when ulcer size is more than 1 cm. Location of ulcer on posterior, posterior-superior and posterior-inferior walls of the duodenal bulb is an unfavorable prognostic symptom (rebleeding occurs in 17.1, 30.0 and 12.5% cases, respectively). Types Forrest-Ia and Forrest-IIa are especially dangerous for recurrence (21.4 and 15.6%, respectively). In types Forrest-Ib and Forrest-IIb rebleeding occurs less frequently (4 and 6%, respectively). In types Forrest-Ia and Forrest-Ib rebleeding occurs mainly on the first day, rebleeding in types Forrest-IIa occurs more often on the first-second day, however it is possible up to day 7. Rebleeding in types Forrest-IIb occurs also mainly during the first two days. Endoscopic hemostasis (electrocoagulation and injection therapy) was performed in 40 patients. In 6 (15%) cases hemostasis was not achieved. In 8 (20%) cases endoscopic hemostasis led to a temporary effect, i.e. rebleeding was seen within 24-72 hours after endoscopic procedure. Stable hemostasis with endoscopy was achieved in 26 (65%) patients.
