Objective: Describe the clinical characteristics of patients with epistaxis. Evaluate the results of endoscopic surgery to stop nasal bleeding. Subjects: Patients were diagnosed with epistaxis and received endoscopic surgery to control epistaxis at E hospital. Research method: cross-sectional description. Results: Epistaxis are common in people over 60 years old and are more common in men than women, with a male/female ratio of 1.4/1. Mainly moderate epistaxis (53.6%) and anterior epistaxis (67.9%). Bleeding sites detected on endoscopic surgery: most frequently in the septum, followed by the inferior nasal meatus.
