Epinephrine infusion through the T-tube: Another alternative to control postoperative bleeding after sphincteroplasty

Abstract

We describe a patient in whom postoperative bleed-ing from the sphincteroplasty site was successfully controlled by infusion of epinephrine through a T-tube. This method may represent another alternative for the conservative treatment of patients, if they have a T-tube in situ, who bleed after sphincteroplasty or sphincterotomy. © Springer-Verlag 1996.
