A differential approach to surgical interventions corresponding to the system of treatment of patients with gastrointestinal bleedings developed by the authors gave considerably less lethality in patients with bleedings caused by acute gastric and duodenal ulcers and by the Mallory-Weiss syndrome. General lethality among these patients was 3.3% and 5.1% correspondingly. This system was most effective at large specialized centers for treatment of patients with acute gastrointestinal bleedings. However many of its principles are easy for a great number of practical surgeons.
