In the traditional definition, lower GI bleeding was generally classified as bleeding distal to the TreitZ ligament (duodenojejunal junction) as the border. In the last decade, GI bleeding has adopted three categories in some recent publications: Upper, middle, and lower. According to this category, bleeding from a source between the TreitZ ligament and the ileocecal valve is classified as middle GI bleeding, bleeding from the distal of the ileocecal valve is classified lower GI bleeding. Lower GI bleeding and hospitalization rates increase with aging. Currently, physicians managing lower GI bleeding have many different diagnostic and therapeutic options ranging from colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy to radiographic interventions such as scintigraphy or angiography. Lower GI bleeding often stops spontaneously and less common than upper GI bleeding. Even though no modality has emerged as the gold standard in the treatment of lower GI bleeding, colonoscopy has several advantages and is generally considered as the preferred initial test in most of the cases.

  • Flexible Video-Endsocopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Second and Third Degree Internal Hemorrhoids
    Published online: 2019-09-26 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Flexible Video-Endsocopic Injection Sclerotherapy for Second and Third Degree Internal Hemorrhoids Sandeep Nijhawan, Udawat H, Gaurav Gupta, Anil Sharma, Amit Mathur, Bharat Sapra, Subhash Nepalia Department of Gastroenterology, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT Background and objectives: Bleeding from hemorrhoids is the commonest cause of rectal bleeding in adults. Injection sclerotherapy of internal hemorrhoids is one of the non-surgical treatments, and is simple, safe and feasible. Conventionally sclerotherapy is performed with rigid proctoscope which has limitations of maneuverability, narrower field of vision and documentation compared to flexible videoendoscope. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy and safety of video-colonoscopic sclerotherapy for bleeding internal hemorrhides. Methods: Seventy-nine patients of bleeding internal hemorrhoids were subjected to colonoscopic sclerotherapy using 1.5% polidocanol in retroflexed or forward viewing positions. Success of treatment was defined as cessation of bleeding for six weeks. Patients were observed for complications and were followed up regularly for 3 months. Results: A total of 79 evaluable patients, 61 had grade II and 18 had grade III hemorrhoids. There was no statistically significant differences in achieving excellent or good results for control of bleeding between patients with grade II and grade III hemorrhoids (100% vs 94,5%; p>0.05). The number of sessions of sclerotherapy required were significantly more in grade II than grade III hemorrhoids (1.1 ± 0.3 vs 1.3 ± 0.7; p = 0.04). No significant complications were noted except for bloating in ten patients (12.6 %) and rectal pain in 6 (7.6%) patients.

  • Eradication of Gastric Varices by EUS-Guided Histoacryl Injection
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2014 Safe and successful endoscopic initial treatment and long-term eradication of gastric varices by endoscopic ultrasound-guided Histoacryl (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) injection Gubler, Christoph ; Bauerfeind, Peter Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Optimal endoscopic treatment of gastric varices is still not standardized nowa- days. Actively bleeding varices may prohibit a successful endoscopic injection therapy of Histoacryl® (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate). Since 2006, we have treated gastric varices by standardized endoscopic ul- trasound (EUS) guided Histoacryl injection therapy without severe adverse events. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present a large single-center cohort over 7 years with a standardized EUS-guided scle- rotherapy of all patients with gastric varices. Application was controlled by fluoroscopy to immediately detect any glue embolization. Only perforating veins located within the gastric wall were treated. In the follow up, we repeated this treatment until varices were eradicated. RESULTS: Utmost patients (36 of 40) were treated during or within 24 h of active bleeding. About 32.5% of patients were treated while visible bleeding. Histoacryl injection was always technically successful and only two patients suffered a minor complication. Acute bleeding was stopped in all patients. About 15% (6 of 40) of patients needed an alternative rescue treatment in the longer course. Three patients got a transjugular portosystemic shunt and another three underwent an orthotopic liver transplantation. Mean long-term survival of 60 months was excellent. CONCLUSION: Active bleeding of gastric varices can be treated successfully without the necessity of gastric rinsing with EUS-guided injection of Histoacryl.

  • Symptomatic Hemorrhoids Susan L Gearhart, MD Assistant Professor of Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Johns Hopkins Medicallnstitutions, Lutherville, Maryland
    CHAPTER 9 Symptomatic Hemorrhoids Susan L Gearhart, MD Assistant Professor of Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Johns Hopkins Medicallnstitutions, Lutherville, Maryland 1though the true incidence of symptomatic hemorrhoids is Adifficu1t to estimate, the significance and management of this disorder has been well documented. The earliest writings on the subject of symptomatic hemorrhoids occurred in 400 BCby Hip- pocrates.1 In these writings, symptomatic hemorrhoids were de- scribed as the resu1t of infection of the veins within the rectum with stool, causing the temperature within the vein to rise and the vein to swell. Successful treatment could be obtained by cauterizing the hemorrhoids with a red-hot iron. Napo1eon was finally defeated by the British at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Severa1 accounts by those who were dose to him have indicated that the battle was 10st because ofNapoleons aftliction with hemorrhoids.2 Contrary to his usual batt1e conduct, he spent most of his time resting on a hilltop overlooking the battlefield rather than on his horse. When he did wa1k, he had a difficu1t time. Furthermore, a 1etter to his brother written severa1 years before the Battle of Waterloo indicated he had been routine1y treating his hemorrhoids with 3 to 4 1eeches. Today, if one browses the Internet on the topic of hemorrhoids, there are more than 65,000 sites that can be visited. ANATOMYANDPATHOPHYSIOLOGY Figure 1 demonstrates the anatomic abnormalities associated with the development of symptomatic hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoidal cush- ions are essential to the function ofthe anal canal. The hypervascu- lar nature of these cushions allows control of fecal continence and the easy passage of formed stool.
