Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Delayed post-polypectomy hemorrhage is a potential complication after colon polyp removal.
  • Management options for this condition can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of endoscopic management for delayed post-polypectomy hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • Nine consecutive patients with active rectal bleeding post-polypectomy underwent repeat colonoscopy.
  • Endoscopic interventions included injection therapy, electrocautery, and thermal injury.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic therapy successfully ceased hemorrhage in all nine patients.
  • No complications were reported following the repeat colonoscopies and endoscopic treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Colonoscopy and endoscopic therapy are feasible, effective, and safe for selected patients with active delayed post-polypectomy hemorrhage.
