Damage control surgery with endopacking technique for duodenal ulcer bleeding: Single clinical case in literature

Due to advances in endoscopic technology, surgery for duodenal ulcer bleeding has decreased, although it is still necessary for more complicated cases. The concept of damage control surgery has been established in the field of trauma, and a simple surgical approach may be preferable in serious cases, such as uncontrolled duodenal ulcer bleeding. We present a case of bleeding from an ulcer with a massive hematoma of the duodenum that was treated by a less invasive surgical approach, using the principles of damage control surgery.
