| pubmed-article:9864105 | pubmed:abstractText | Dieulafoy's ulcer, accounting for approximately 5% of upper GI bleeding, is best managed by therapeutic endoscopy. Some patients, however, require surgical treatment. Presented here is a case in which the lesion was treated by combined endoscopy and endogastric surgery. To the authors' best knowledge, this is the first published report of such management. This relatively new technique may be offered in suitable cases but should be attempted only by well-trained laparoscopic surgeons. | lld:pubmed |
