Abstract
Hemostasis by microwave coagulation has spread worldwide since 1981. Now, this excellent method has been applied to the hemostasis of bleeding from many gastrointestinal diseases even in lower intestinal bleeding or bleeding from esophageal varices. In this report, we evaluated the effect of endoscopic microwave coagulation method for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Temporary hemostasis was obtained in all patients. Complete hemostatic effect was obtained in 97% all of patients. This method was effective in all patients of arterial bleeding. The effect of hemostasis was almost equal in patients with and without complications. Endoscopic microwave coagulation method is effective for upper gastrointestinal bleeding especially in patients with arterial bleeding and complications.
