| Abstract [eng] |
Radiation-induced hemorrhagic proctitis is a complication of radiotherapy for pelvic malignancies, which is caused by submucosal fibrosis, and endarteritis obliterans gives rise to telangiectatic neovasculature which is fragile and prone to bleeding. A number of treatment strategies of hemorrhagic radiation proctitis have been described. According to latest studies, formalin application and argon plasma coagulation seem to be most effective. Formalin application is a simple, inexpensive and safe method of treatment. A novel way of formalin application is described for those suffering from radiation hemorrhagic proctitis. |
