Bleeding stomal ulceration.

P S Hunt, J Dowling, M Korman

    The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bleeding stomal ulcers caused 2.5% of admissions, often from superficial lesions resembling alkaline reflux gastritis. Truncal vagotomy is suggested for managing severe bleeding from these post-gastric surgery ulcers.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Stomal ulceration is a significant complication following gastric surgery.
    • Alkaline reflux gastritis is a recently identified cause of post-gastric surgery bile vomiting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and characteristics of bleeding stomal ulceration.
    • To evaluate management strategies for bleeding stomal ulcers.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of patients admitted with haematemesis and melaena.
    • Endoscopic and histological examination of stomal lesions.
    • Surgical intervention for persistent bleeding.

    Main Results:

    • 22 admissions (2.5%) for bleeding stomal ulceration.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 16 cases involved superficial stomal lesions similar to alkaline reflux gastritis.
  • 7 surgical cases with superficial stomal lesions required truncal vagotomy for bleeding control.
  • One patient with superficial stomal ulceration and malignancy died.

    • Conclusions:

    • Superficial stomal lesions, resembling alkaline reflux gastritis, are a common cause of bleeding post-gastrectomy.
    • Truncal vagotomy appears necessary for controlling severe bleeding from these lesions.
    • Biopsy is crucial for diagnosis and to rule out malignancy in stomal ulcerations.
