From 1984 to 1994, 196 patients with massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (hemorrhagic gastritis 137 cases, gastric ulcer 59 cases) caused by acute gastric mucosal lesions were treated in our hospital. As soon as the diagnosis was established, the stress factors in relation to acute gastric mucosal lesions and the factors damaging gastric mucosal barrier should he dispeled and hypovolemia should he corrected. In this group, the operative mortality were as follow: stress ulcer 6.3%, hemorrhagic gastritis 33.3%. According to this result, we consider that in cases of hemorrhagic gastritis the surgical operation must be considered with great care, but for stress ulcer with massive bleeding energetic surgical operation should be taken.
