[Endoscopic injections around gastrointestinal hemorrhages in the stomach and duodenum]

Besides the method of laser coagulation and electrocoagulation the endoscopic injection therapy of gastrointestinal bleeding in the stomach and in the duodenum seems to be a successful, inexpensive and simple method. In our hospital 62 pat. were treated by endoscopic injection therapy since 1978. A definitive hemostasis could be achieved in 83%, while the method did not succeed in 17% of patients.
