ABSTRACT
This case report discribes the treatment of 67-year-old Jehovah's Witness with severe anemia and gastrointestinal haemorrhage from gastric leiomyoma and peptic ulcer. Minimal invasive surgery with meticulous hemostasis, controlled hypotension, hyperoxic normovolemia and normotermia were main principles. Minimal blood samples for necessary laboratory parameters and noninvasive onitoring were ways to decrease iatrogenic blood loss. The operative and postoperative period were uneventful and well tolerated. The patient was discharged home after eighteen days and well in follow up period.
