[Endoscopic treatment of bleeding due to Mallory-Weiss syndrome]
Abstract:
Experience in diagnosis and treatment of 276 patients with Mallory--Weiss syndrome (MWS) is presented. Definition of the syndrome and brief historical review (from first description of disruption of esophageal-gastric connection to first report of successful hemostasis through endoscope) are given. Particular attention is devoted to etiology and pathogenesis of this syndrome. Clinical material and picture of disease, results of endoscopic diagnosis are analyzed, efficacy of endoscopic hemostasis and prophylaxis of hemorrhage is demonstrated. Indications to various methods of endoscopic hemostasis are regarded, results of treatment and lethal outcomes are analyzed. It is demonstrated that endoscopic procedures are the method of choice in the treatment of this disease reducing emergency surgery rate to 0.4%.
