[Bleeding gastric ulcer].

Under study were 113 patients with hemorrhagic ulcer of the stomach. It was established that gastric ulcers were the causes of hemorrhage from the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract in 9,3% of cases. Hemorrhagic ulcers of the stomach were the cause of hemorrhages of ulcerous etiology in 22% of cases. Predisposition of gastric ulcers to profuse hemorrhage, high percentage of their degeneration makes such radical surgical intervention as stomach resection very expedient.
