Abstract

FIGUEIREDO, Pedro et al. Intraoperative Enteroscopy In Small Bowel Bleeding: The Indication Stands. J Port Gastrenterol. [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.6, pp.303-305. ISSN 0872-8178.

We report the case of a 63-year-old with small intestinal bleeding. Due to the fact that he was hemodynamically unstable, double-balloon enteroscopy had to be suspended. Urgent laparotomy with intraoperative enteroscopy by an orally passed endoscope was done. Three angiodysplasic lesions were treated with argon-plasma coagulation and two bleeding ulcers were accurately identified and resected. Intraoperative enteroscopy may be a therapeutic option, namely in unstable patients with small intestinal bleeding

Keywords : Intraoperative enteroscopy; digestive bleeding.
