A 10-year experience with 2,441 patients over 65 years of age undergoing operations for non-upper gastrointestinal tracts was reviewed to evaluate both the incidence of postoperative upper gastrointestinal bleeding and the clinical risk factors associated with the complication. A total of 18 (0.7%, 7 males and 11 females) patients had overt postoperative upper gastrointestinal bleeding of non-variceal origin documented by endoscopic findings or blood transfusions. Of these, the complication developed in 10 (1.5%) of 646 patients after an operation for biliary or pancreatic disease, 1 (1.5%) of 64 for aneurysmal or obstructive arterial disease, 5 (1.1%) of 43 for colorectal cancer and 2 (0.3%) of 916 for hernia. The incidences of bleeding after an operation for obstructive jaundice (3.8%), for biliary or pancreatic malignancy (4.5%), and of unavoidable diversion colostomy for colorectal anastomosis (3.1%) were significantly higher than for non-jaundice (0.6%), for non-malignancy (1.1%) and of postoperative upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the present study. The origins of bleeding were gastric ulcer in 11, acute gastric mucosal lesion in 4, duodenal ulcer in 1 and other in 2. All cases of bleeding were treated and met success in hemostasis using H2-blockers. Of these, however, 5 patients died of multiple organ failure despite discontinued hemorrhage, prophylactic use of H2-blockers showed a decrease in occurrence of postoperative upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the present study.
