Our method was shown to be feasible and safe. The success of the intralesional injection of the sclerosing agent may be predicted when changes in the mucosal surface are observed: (a) immediately after the injection sufficient sclerosant is deemed to have been injected and to the proper depth in the bowel wall, if the mucosa bulges while the solution is being injected; and (b) if a shallow ulceration is seen in an early subsequent reexamination where the treated lesion was located, allowing scar tissue produced by the healing process of the ulcer to replace the former vascular lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
