Materials and Methods: Cotton pledgets soaked in 5% formalin are placed endoscopically onto bleeding foci of the bladder for 15 minutes and then removed. Results: There was immediate cessation of prolonged bleeding refractory to intravesical saline, alum, prostaglandin E1 and estrogen. No subsequent bleeding was noted during 16 months of followup. Conclusions: Topical application of formalin soaked pledgets is an effective method of controlling localized bleeding secondary to radiation cystitis.
