NON – OPERATIVE
INTERVENTIONS.
• EMERGENCY ENDOSCOPY (UPPER GIT
ONLY). (Coagulation, sclerotherapy,
polypectomy).
• TAMPONADE (VARICES).
• INTERVEVNTIONAL RADIOLOGY:
ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION.
VENOUS EMBOLIZATION.

SURGICAL INTERVENTION.
(LAPAROTOMY).
Duodenal ulcer–ligation of the bleeder +
Vagotomy &
Drainage.
Gastric ulcer – Ligation of bleeder +
Partial gastrectomy.
Mallory–Weiss – Gastrotomy, ligation of
the bleeder +
repair.
Oesophageal varices –Transection of
oesophagus
(or the
16
stomach).
2.SURGICAL INTERVENTION
• Ca. stomach - Gastrectomy (total or partial).
• Diverticular disease- Segmental colectomy
+ colostomy.
• C.A. colon – Partial colectomy +
colostomy.
• Polyps - Colotomy + polypectomy.
