Laparoscopic treatment in gastrointestinal bleeding due to Dieulafoy's lesion
Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Produced by the erosion of aberrant vessels in the submucosa, usually at the gastric level. The jejunal location is unusual. Its diagnosis is complicated by the intermittent characteristic of bleeding, initially recommending the e...

| Sumario: | Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Produced by the erosion of aberrant vessels in the submucosa, usually at the gastric level. The jejunal location is unusual. Its diagnosis is complicated by the intermittent characteristic of bleeding, initially recommending the endoscopic approach. It is an unusual entity that must be taken into account in the dif-ferential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding. Massive bleeding can occur, compromising the life of the patient. Initial endo-scopic/radiological management is recommended, reserving the surgical approach for refractory bleeding for less invasive treatments. |
