PURPOSE: A technique found effective in stopping active posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding, outside the operating room, is described. METHOD: After resuscitation and sedation, a proctoscope was inserted to identify the bleeding point. 1 to 2 ml of 1/10,000 adrenaline was injected submucosally. RESULTS: This technique was totally successful in 12 of 12 treated patients. CONCLUSION: Submucosal adrenaline injection is a simple and readily accessible technique for managing posthemorrhoidectomy bleeding.
