    Journal: Tech Coloproctol; 2010 Nov; 14 Suppl 1():S13-4. PubMed ID: 20683755.
    Abstract:
    AIM: Aim of this study is to demonstrate that the circumferential stapled procedure for rectal varices is a feasible and suitable method of controlling bleeding varices. PATIENTS: Between 2004 and December 2007, four patients underwent the procedure as an emergency, with the intention of controlling haemorrhage. RESULTS: Four patients underwent this procedure, with successful control of bleeding achieved in all. No further rebleeding was observed in the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The stapled disruption of bleeding rectal varices in patients with portal hypertension seems a very useful and effective procedure.
