    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 2006; 165(1):76-8. PubMed ID: 16568862.
    Abstract:
    Under analysis were results of treatment of 83 patients with bleedings resulting from portal hypertension against the background of liver cirrhosis combined with ulcer disease of the stomach and/or duodenum. In 49.4% of the patients the sources of bleedings were varicose veins of the esophagus and stomach, in 37.3%--ulcers, in 13%--a combination of ulcer and erosion of the varicose veins. Emergency operations were made on 33.8% of patients, urgent--on 22.1%, planned operations on 45.1%. Recurrences were noted in 15.4% of urgent and emergency operations, lethality--10.3%. After planned operations lethality was 0%.
