Reviewer's report
Title:A therapeutic barium enema is a practical option to control bleeding from
the appendix
Version: 2Date:11 December 2012
Reviewer: Junichi Iwamoto
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting and rare case report describing a therapeutic barium
enema to avoid an emergency operation in the case of bleeding from the
appendix.
The auhors have demonstrated for the first time that the therapeutic barium
enema is a useful procedure not only for the bleeding of colonic diverticulum but
also for the bleeding from the appendix.
Discretionary Revisions
The authors may add the short comment or speculation about the effectiveness
of the therapeutic barium enema for other etiological cases of appendix bleeding
shown in the table 1 such as angiodysplasia to the discussion section.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
