[Surgical perspectives in treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers].
Peptic ulcer bleeding has overall incidence of 50 to 150 on 100.000 grown-ups per year and represents cause for over 1% of all urgent hospitalization today. Despite of the evolution of the endoscopic diagnostics and haemostasis, improved intensive care and surgical treatment, overall mortality is still over 10% (operative treatment over 20%), and it almost hasn't changed over past 40 years. For more than 100 years surgery had major role in treatment of peptic bleeding ulcers, whereas nowadays it is limited to treatment of its complications. Adequate surgical treatment demands properly timed operation, safest but appropriate operation and trained surgeon. Early surgery is much better compared to the last minute surgery. At high risk rebleeding ulcer, early delayed surgery appears to be adequate, since the complications and lethal outcome are more frequent in this group.
