Glue Injection

Glue Injection for GI Bleeding at Lakshmi Sai Clinic, Kurnool

What is Glue Injection?
Glue injection is a specialized endoscopic procedure used to treat gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, especially from conditions like gastric varices, ulcers, or other high-risk gastrointestinal bleeds. During the procedure, a biological adhesive (glue) is injected into the bleeding site to stop hemorrhaging and promote healing.

Why is Glue Injection Used?

• Minimally invasive: Unlike traditional surgery, glue injection is performed through an endoscope, reducing the need for large incisions and allowing for quicker recovery.

• Life-saving treatment: It is particularly effective in controlling active GI bleeding that may not be easily stopped with other methods like cauterization or medication.

• Precise application: The glue is applied directly to the bleeding site, offering targeted treatment with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

Benefits of Glue Injection

• Effective and quick: Provides immediate control of bleeding, reducing the risk of complications like shock or infection.

• Minimally invasive: The procedure requires no major surgery, resulting in a shorter recovery period.

• Safer than surgery: Especially beneficial for patients who are not candidates for open surgery due to age, medical history, or other health issues.

The Procedure

1. Initial Consultation: If you’re experiencing symptoms of GI bleeding, such as vomiting blood, black stools, or unexplained abdominal pain, our specialists will first assess the condition through endoscopy and imaging.
2. Glue Injection: Using an endoscope, our specialists inject the glue into the bleeding blood vessels, effectively sealing the wound and stopping the bleeding.
3. Post-Procedure Care: Patients typically recover quickly and can go home on the same day. We will provide post-care instructions to ensure the best possible healing and minimize the chance of rebleeding.
