Background : Some studies have reported that endoscopic hemostasis using hemostatic forceps with soft coagulation is useful for gastric ulcer bleeding than using the clipping. However, there have been no reports of endoscopic hemostasis using hemostatic forceps for duodenal bleeding.
Methods : We retrospectively studied the treatment results of 10 patients with duodenal bleeding who were undertaken hemostasis using hemostatic forceps between January 2017 and October 2017.
Results : In treatment results, 9 patients succeeded in endoscopic hemostasis using hemostatic forceps. Two patients occurred re-bleeding. There were no severe complications in all patients.
Conclusion : Endoscopic hemostasis using hemostatic forceps seems to be safe and efficacy for duodenal bleeding.
