ABSTRACT: Acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a highly prevalent clinical condition, with the majority of cases representing acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. With the advancement of modern medicine, endoscopy has become an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. In order to achieve optimal results in the endoscopic treatment of non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, it is essential to make an accurate and timely diagnosis and select the most appropriate treatment method. This article introduces the definition of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB) and the importance of endoscopic treatment for this disease. It then presents an overview of various assessment systems for ANVUGIB and an overview of endoscopic advances in thermal coagulation, mechanical hemostasis, and topical pharmacological injection hemostasis for three aspects of ANVUGIB-related bleeding. In particular, this article discusses the therapeutic efficacy and safety of different treatment options for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as the advantages and limitations of these treatment options in managing this disease.
