Abstract		Background: The aim of the study was to establish the mortality of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and endoscopic hemostasis in our institution. Methods: The retrospetive analysis includes patients who had undergone urgent endoscopic examination of the upper digestive tract and hemostatic interventions due to peptic ulcer bleeding in the period between january 1944 and may 1995. Results: 1000 patients were examined, 638 male and 362 female. In only 312 patients (31,2%) the examination revealed signs of acute or recently hemorrhage. Hemostatic interventions were performed in 275 cases; 135 patients had peptic ulcer hemorrhage. During the hospitalisation on the hospitalisation on the internal department 6 patients died. In 9 patients (9 / 135, 6,6%) with acute hemorrhage, endoscopic hemostasis did not prove successful, therefore after several unsuccessfully repeated endoscopic interventions (21 in all) the patients were treated operatively. During the postoperative period, 4 patients died because of complications. Conclusions: Despite the advances in medical therapy of ulcer disease and development of endoscopic instruments and methods of hemostasis, mortality due to to peptic ulcer hemorrhage has not decreased essentially.
