The gel immersion method and an endoscope with an attached balloon and a cylindrical hood facilitate hemostasis of post-papillectomy bleeding.

Yuki and colleagues report a case of successful endoscopic hemostasis of post-papillectomy bleeding with the gel immersion method and an endoscope with an attached balloon and a cylindrical hood. The visual field was improved with gel and maneuverability was improved using the cylindrical hood and the semi-inflating balloon.
