چکیده

Introduction: Gastrointestinal bleeding is a serious medical issue that demands effective treatments. This systematic review aims to assess new therapeutic approaches for managing gastrointestinal bleeding and compare their effectiveness with traditional methods. The focus is on evaluating the impact of interventions like endoscopic treatments and surgical procedures.Methods: A systematic search was conducted in scientific databases including MagIran, PubMed, Scopus, and others using keywords such as "patient safety", "surgical process", and "qualitative research". Studies published between 2015 and 2025 were included. This review compares the effectiveness of various gastrointestinal bleeding treatments.Results: Endoscopic techniques, including OTSC, haemostatic powders, and suturing, have significantly improved the management of gastrointestinal bleeding by enhancing haemostasis and reducing rebleeding rates. Transarterial embolization (TAE) has proven effective for refractory cases, while self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) offer a viable option for managing variceal bleeding. Capsule endoscopy has improved the diagnosis of obscure bleeding sources, leading to more targeted interventions. Personalized treatment strategies, considering patient-specific risk factors, are essential for optimizing outcomes and minimizing complications .Conclusion: Advancements in GI bleeding management have improved haemostasis and reduced rebleeding rates. Endoscopic techniques, TAE, and SEMS offer effective solutions, though challenges remain. Ongoing research and personalized approaches are key to optimizing outcomes.
