Endoscopic intervention for peptic ulcers with hemorrhage stigmata is crucial. Injection therapy is emerging as a cost-effective and practical first-line treatment compared to laser or probe coagulation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Background:

  • Peptic ulcers with stigmata of hemorrhage signify a high risk of rebleeding.
  • Endoscopic intervention is necessary to manage active bleeding and prevent rebleeding.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and practicality of different endoscopic hemostatic modalities for peptic ulcer bleeding.
  • To evaluate laser photocoagulation, multipolar/heater probe coagulation, and injection therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical trials and endoscopic intervention techniques.
  • Assessment of treatment efficacy, cost, and ease of implementation.

Main Results:

  • Laser photocoagulation, multipolar/heater probe coagulation, and injection therapy are all effective hemostatic methods.

  • Injection therapy is equally effective, less costly, and more practical than laser photocoagulation.
  • Multipolar and heater probe coagulation are common but may be superseded by injection therapy.

    • Conclusions:

    • The choice of endoscopic therapy depends on resource availability and endoscopist expertise.
    • Injection therapy presents a cost-effective and accessible option for peptic ulcer bleeding.
    • Further adoption of injection therapy as a first-line treatment is recommended.
