Abstract

To the Editor: Because we¹ and others²³⁴ have found endoscopic laser therapy to be efficacious in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, we found two reports in the June 25 issue⁵⁶ rather disappointing. Krejs et al.⁵ reported that endoscopic laser therapy is not beneficial for acute bleeding from peptic ulcers. This result is directly attributable to the design of the study rather than to any deficiency of endoscopic laser therapy. First, we reemphasize Fromm's editorial comment⁷ in the same issue: “No matter which method of coagulation is selected. These are not procedures to be used by novices.”.
