| Epistaxis from the anterior septum is frequently treated with a topical application of silver nitrate, which cauterizes the bleeding vessel. At the same time, it cauterizes the tiny blood vessels that are ripped open when the fat is melted and sucked away from the surrounding tissue. An electrical current in the snare then cuts and cauterizes the base of the polyp, allowing for removal without serious bleeding. |
