We describe a patient in whom postoperative bleeding from the sphincteroplasty site was successfully controlled by infusion of epinephrine through a T‐tube. This method may represent another alternative for the conservative treatment of patients, if they have a T‐tube in situ, who bleed after sphincteroplasty or sphincterotomy.
