title: [The injection method for hemostasis in gastroduodenal lesions. Indications and possibilities].
abstract: Endoscopic injection of polidocanol was used in a prospective study of 88 patients with gastroduodenal bleeding. Active bleeding by injecting polidocanol (1%) in 54 patients achieved initial haemostasis in 51 (94%); lasting arrest of bleeding was achieved in 39 (72%). This injection treatment was also used to prevent recurrence of bleeding where there had been signs of previous bleeding: this proved successful in 25 of 34 patients (74%). The endoscopic injection method thus gave results equivalent to other endoscopic methods of achieving haemostasis.
