Intraoperative endoscopy successfully treated bleeding small intestine lesions in 17 patients over 9 years. This procedure accurately located lesions and had no complications, with no recurrence of bleeding in follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Background:

  • Small intestine bleeding is a significant clinical challenge.
  • Identifying the source of bleeding is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Traditional diagnostic methods may not always locate the bleeding site.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative endoscopy for small intestine bleeding.
  • To assess the indications and outcomes of intraoperative endoscopy in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 47 patients with small intestine bleeding over 9 years.
  • Analysis of 17 patients who underwent intraoperative endoscopy.
  • Documentation of indications, procedure details, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Intraoperative endoscopy was performed for various indications including occult lesions, multiple lesions, and confirming/excluding bleeding sources.
  • 14 out of 17 patients survived the immediate post-operative period.
  • No recurrence of bleeding was observed in a median follow-up of 37 months.
  • No complications related to intraoperative enteroscopy were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoperative endoscopy is a safe and effective tool for managing small intestine bleeding.
  • The procedure aids in precise localization and characterization of bleeding lesions.
  • It offers a low complication rate and good long-term outcomes for patients.
