Abstract: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a medical emergency that can be life-threatening, especially in older patients and those with other health problems. While most cases can be managed with medications and endoscopy, around 10-15% require surgery when other treatments don’t work. This review covers when and why surgery is needed for UGIB, the types of surgical procedures used, comparisons with other non-surgical treatments, and newer techniques that are being developed. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of the role of surgery in treating UGIB based on the latest evidence.
