Overview
Nasal cautery is the most usual surgery procedure to stop nasal bleeding.
Indications
- Surgery is the not first-line treatment option for patients with epistaxis, but when other procedures could not stop bleeding, there are other options that include surgery.
Surgery
- Nasal cautery is the most usual surgery procedure to stop nasal bleeding and recurrence.[1] [2]
- A nasal balloon or Foley catheter for posterior bleeds can be indicated.
- Embolization and surgical arterial ligation are very effective in patients that other procedures could not stop bleeding.
