Abstract:
The Authors report their experience in cases of severe lower intestinal bleeding. On the basis of personal data and previously reported results, endoscopy is shown to be the primary and sometimes essential method, especially in the case of colo-rectal bleeding, both in terms of its diagnostic precision and possible therapeutic uses. This technique was used to treat all emergency cases, obtaining a diagnostic resolution in 85.6% and hemostasis and/or the concomitant removal of the lesion in 52.3% of cases.
