RESUMO
Results of endoscopic application of collagenous preparation thrombocol to the ulcer are presented. It is maintained that combined treatment of patients with peptic ulcer complicated by hemorrhage including endoscopic hemostasis (EH) and eradication therapy improves its outcome. Specifically, combined EH (adrenalin injection and subsequent application of thrombocol to the ulcer) reduces the frequency of recurrent hemorrhage and the need in urgent surgical intervention in patients with active hemorrhage (F Ia, Ib). Preventive EH with thrombocol in patients with active hemorrhage and high probability of its relapse (F IIa, IIb) reduces the frequency of recurrent hemorrhage and the necessity of emergency surgical treatment. In patients with active hemorrhage (F IIa, IIb, IIc) thrombocol promotes healing of the ulcer and decreases duration of hospitalization.
