Surgical Treatment of GI Bleeding is a procedure performed when gastrointestinal bleeding cannot be controlled with conservative treatments. Common causes include ulcers, tumors, varices, or inflammatory conditions like Crohn's disease or diverticulitis.

The surgery may involve techniques like cauterization, ligation, or embolization to control the bleeding. If the bleeding source is a tumor, a resection may be required. Laparoscopic or endoscopic procedures are often preferred for faster recovery and reduced complications.

Postoperative care focuses on preventing infection, managing pain, and ensuring the gastrointestinal tract heals properly. Patients may also need to follow a special diet and avoid certain foods to reduce stress on the digestive system.

Surgical treatment of GI bleeding is essential for controlling potentially life-threatening hemorrhages and improving the patient's health and quality of life by addressing the underlying cause of the bleeding.
