Summary

Bleeding peptic ulcers are increasingly common, with emergency surgery carrying high mortality. Endoscopic haemostasis reduces mortality by lowering rebleeding and emergency operation rates, guiding surgical intervention for high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Hospitalizations and surgeries for uncomplicated peptic ulcers have declined.
  • However, operations for bleeding peptic ulcers have increased, highlighting hemorrhage as a significant complication with high mortality.
  • Emergency surgery for bleeding peptic ulcers carries a substantial mortality rate (10-20%).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of endoscopic hemostasis and surgical interventions on mortality rates in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers.
  • To determine optimal surgical strategies for different risk groups and ulcer types.

Main Methods:

  • Review of trends in peptic ulcer surgery and complication rates.
  • Analysis of outcomes associated with endoscopic hemostasis and various surgical procedures (truncal vagotomy, pyloroplasty, proximal gastric vagotomy, partial gastrectomy).
  • Risk stratification of patients based on hemorrhage recurrence and mortality.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic hemostasis reduces hospital mortality by decreasing rebleeding and the need for emergency operations.
  • Emergency surgery is indicated for active hemorrhage refractory to endoscopic treatment.
  • Combination of endoscopic hemostasis and early elective surgery benefits selected high-risk patients.
  • Truncal vagotomy and pyloroplasty are recommended for poor-risk patients with duodenal ulcer hemorrhage.
  • Partial gastrectomy is favored for gastric ulcers due to reduced recurrence and malignancy risk.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic hemostasis is crucial in managing bleeding peptic ulcers, improving outcomes by reducing emergency operations.
  • Surgical intervention should be carefully selected based on patient risk factors and ulcer characteristics.
  • For gastric ulcers, more radical procedures like partial gastrectomy are beneficial for managing hemorrhage and malignancy risk.
