Abstract:Objective: To explore the etiological factors and therapeutic strategies of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) for improving the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: Clinical data of 59 cases of acute LGIB from January 2012 to December 2017 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Etiologies were determined by abdominal computed tomography (CT), angiography, or laparotomy. The major causes of LGIB were vascular malformation of the small intestine (19/59) and the GIST of the small intestine (17/59); other causes included colorectal cancer, colorectal polyp, diverticular disease, malignant tumor of the small intestine (22/59). A total of 49 cases were received surgical procedures. Conclusions: Evidence from the series of cases suggests that preoperative definitive diagnosis by endoscopy, abdominal CT, or angiography is the key to improve the curative effect of acute LGIB.
