The study is based on the analysis of 158 patients admitted in the "Fourth Clinic of Surgery" with diagnosis of "Upper Digestive Haemorrhage" (U.D.H.) between 1998-2002, emphasising the importance of the physiopathological chains induced by the ulcer bleeding; 119 cases (76%) were diagnosed with gastro-duodenal ulcer, 20 with portal hypertension (20%), 14 subjects were with gastric carcinoma (8.8%) and 5 with miscellaneous etiologies so called "rare circumstances" of U.D.H. (two patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia, one case with Dieulafoy gastric ulceration and two subjects with Haemorrhagic Gastritis). All the patients were admitted in the first moment in the Intensive Care Unit where haemostasis were successfully obtained with drug therapy adapted to the physiopathological changes induced by bleeding, in the majority of cases with light bleeding (8 cases, 5.4%) or medium bleeding (139 patients, 87.4%); only in 9 subjects (6%) with severe haemorrhage surgery was indicated (posterior bulbar ulcer in which the surgical haemostasis was necessary). In 88 patients (55%) surgery was performed as an elective procedure--74 from them had haemorrhagic gastric or duodenal ulcers with a medium amount of bleeding and 14 observations for gastric carcinoma with a chronic bleeding. In most all the cases the postoperative evolution was in good terms. Two observations with severe U.D.H. due to rupture of esophageal varices occurred on hepatic cirrhosis were out of therapeutical proof (1.2% deaths from all the admitted patients with U.D.H.).
