Keywords:
Sclerotherapy, Esophageal Varices, SclerosantAbstract
The upper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most common surgical emergencies that the surgeon encounters. Early diagnosis and accurate decision regarding its management is very important. Bleeding from esophageal varices can present to the clinician with one of the most challenging therapeutic problems. Bleeding may be rapid and exsanguinating, requiring urgent treatment for its control and resuscitation of the patient.
