| Abstract: | The classical approach to management of intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid ulceration has been conservative. In. however, the event of massive, persistent and life-threatening hemorrhage not responding to conservative measures, early surgical intervention is life-saving, controls typhoid toxemia rapidly and presents no special difficulties. A right hemicolectomy is recommended. Four such patients treated by us with bowel resection have had an uneventful recovery. |
