[The treatment of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhages at a specialized hospital].

A differential approach to surgical interventions corresponding to the system of treatment of patients with gastrointestinal bleedings developed by the authors gave considerably less lethality in patients with bleedings caused by acute gastric and duodenal ulcers and by the Mallory-Weiss syndrome. General lethality among these patients was 3.3% and 5.

[The results of the endoscopic diathermy coagulation of hemorrhaging gastroduodenal ulcers].

The authors analysed the results of endoscopic diathermy coagulation of bleeding acute gastroduodenal ulcers in 83 patients; in 47 of them the follow-up period ranged from 12 months to 9 years. A stable hemostatic effect was achieved in the early periods after coagulation of the acute ulcers in 76% of cases. The frequency of recurrent bleeding was found to be directly dependent on the degree of the blood loss.

[Treatment of Mallory-Weiss syndrome by endoscopic diathermocoagulation].

The work analyses the results of treatment of 111 patients with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome by endoscopic diathermocoagulation. It proved ineffective from the very beginning in 11 (9.9%) cases, in another 23 (20.

[Features of the diagnosis of tumors of the small intestine complicated by hemorrhage].

Among 5,190 patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage in 14 (0.27%) the bleeding was caused by tumor of the small intestine. The success of recognition of tumors of the small intestine complicated by bleeding is determined to a great measure by the sequence of the diagnostic procedures.
