ABSTRACT
Endoscopic injection of actively bleeding non variceal lesions with polidocanol was performed in 15 patients. Eleven of them had associated diseases. Haemostasis was achieved in 12 (80%). Three of them rebled. However, bleeding stopped by reinjection in two and spontaneously in one patient. No significant local or systemic complication was observed. This therapy avoided emergency surgery in 12 of 15 patients. Thus endoscopic injection treatment can be utilized for managing bleeding due to non variceal lesions.
