Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Summary

Laparoscopic radioguided surgery successfully removed a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) after a prior negative exploration. This technique aids in resecting difficult-to-locate gastrointestinal lesions.

Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Gastrointestinal Surgery
Nuclear Medicine Imaging

Background:

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is definitively treated by surgical extirpation.
Conventional or laparoscopic approaches are standard, but challenging cases require innovative methods.

Observation:

A patient with suspected MD underwent a negative exploratory laparotomy.
Diagnosis was confirmed by gastrointestinal bleeding and isotopic tests, despite negative initial surgery.
A previously unidentified diverticulum was located 60-70 cm from the ileocecal valve.

Findings:

Laparoscopic radioguided surgery, utilizing a gamma probe, precisely located and resected the MD.
An intracorporeal termino-lateral anastomosis was successfully performed.
The patient experienced an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day five.

Implications:

Radioguided surgery combined with SPECT/CT offers a viable solution for surgically challenging MD cases.
This approach enhances precision in locating and resecting lesions in difficult abdominal areas.
It represents an advancement for patients with complex or previously missed gastrointestinal pathologies.
