| Core Tip |
In patients who present with diverticular bleeding, while endoscopic hemostasis is an effective treatment, the source of the bleeding is often difficult to identify because of massive bleeding and the presence of clots. We use therapeutic barium enema as a second-line treatment in cases where the source of bleeding cannot be identified by endoscopy. Thera?peutic barium enema can be used relatively safely and has a low degree of invasiveness. When no other therapeutic techniques are available, therapeutic barium enema may be useful as a therapeutic alternative that can preclude the need for surgical treatment. |
