    Author: Yamada A, Niikura R, Yoshida S, Hirata Y, Koike K.
    Journal: Dig Endosc; 2015 Nov; 27(7):720-5. PubMed ID: 26258405.
    Abstract:
    Colonic diverticular bleeding is the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Colonoscopy can be used for both diagnosis and treatment of colonic diverticular bleeding. Identification of the stigmata of recent hemorrhage allows for various endoscopic hemostasis methods. Clipping, endoscopic band ligation, injection therapy, and thermal contact are available methods for endoscopic hemostasis. However, the optimal technique remains to be determined. Herein, we review the techniques and clinical outcomes of endoscopic hemostasis for colonic diverticular bleeding.
