Abstract

The authors retrospectively compared endoscopic injection therapy with endoscopic hemoclipping by examining 113 patients over a 10-yr period between 1985 and 1995 who had gastrointestinal bleeding and who received one or the other procedure. Endoscopic injection using ethanol alone, epinephrine plus ethanol, or aethoxysclelol plus ethanol was performed in 87 cases. Endoscopic hemoclipping was performed in 26 cases from 1993 to 1995. The permanent hemostasis rate of endoscopic injection was 84% and that of endoscopic hemoclipping was 100%. Complications associated with endoscopic injection included enlargement of the ulcer bed, bleeding caused by exposed vessels within the expanded ulcer and one case of perforation. No complications were noted among patients treated with endoscopic hemoclipping.

[Endoscopy of bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers].

A new device -- "low-temperature washer" has been developed for better endoscopic visualization of bleeding gastroduodenal ulcers. Endoscopic classification of gastroduodenal bleedings by Forrest has been modified, a new classification of endoscopic hemostasis methods is proposed. Results of diagnosis and treatment of 246 patients are analyzed. Application of the new device increased diagnostic and treatment efficacy of urgent endoscopy, decreased the number of surgeries performed on the peak of the bleeding.

[Endoscopic hemostasis using high-frequency hemostatic forceps for hemorrhagic gastric ulcer].

Gastric ulcer is a major responsible lesion for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Several methods for endoscopic hemostasis are widely used throughout Japan to treat the ulcerative lesion. High-frequency hemostatic forceps is one of the endoscopic coagulation devices developed solely for hemostasis. Unlike biopsy forceps, it has narrow opening angle, a small cup and a dull edge to make pinpoint holding of the target lesion possible. We applied high-frequency hemostatic forceps for eleven cases of hemorrhagic gastric ulcer with exposed vessels. All of the cases were treated by endoscopic hemostasis with the device. Initial hemostasis obtained in all of the cases(100%), and no rebleeding was observed. Additional treatment, however, was necessary in four cases(36%). No serious complication, like perforation, was observed. We concluded that endoscopic hemostasis using high-frequency hemostatic forceps for hemorrhagic gastric ulcer is safe and effective method.
