Two patients who developed massive bleeding from a gastric pouch ulcer are described. This rare complication occurred during the early postoperative course after silicone ring vertical gastroplasty (SRVG). In both cases the bleeding stopped after the ulcers were injected with epinephrine and alcohol. Both ulcers healed after 1 month of treatment with omeprazole (Losec). The probable etiology of this rare complication is discussed.

Wischnewsky spots are disseminated, dark lesions in gastric mucosa reflecting hemorrhage associated with fatal hypothermia, and are a phenomenon well known to forensic pathologists. We applied luminol and leucomalachite green tests to formalin-fixed gastric mucosa with Wischnewsky spots in autopsy cases of hypothermia. Both luminol and leucomalachite green tests showed positive reactions.

Ureteral stent must be removed within a certain period, usually performed under the cystoscope. However, cystoscopic operations procedures carry risks such as urethral injury, hemorrhage, and infection. This study aimed to implement a cystoscope-free method for ureteral stent removal during the COVID-19 pandemic to mitigate the complications associated with cystoscopy, reduce the risk of cross-infection, and conserve medical resources and time.
