Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Chronic intestinal obstructive disease presents diagnostic challenges.
  • Distinguishing surgically significant stenoses from non-surgical changes is crucial.
  • Minimizing surgical intervention and complications is a key clinical goal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a new intestinal tube for identifying small intestine stenoses.
  • To assess the device's utility in differentiating surgical from non-surgical obstructions.
  • To demonstrate the potential of this tool in managing chronic intestinal obstructive disease.

Main Methods:

  • A 350 cm long intestinal tube with a distal balloon was employed.
  • The balloon was inflated with 40 ml of air at the obstruction site.
  • The technique was applied in a cohort of 24 patients.

Main Results:

  • The intestinal tube successfully identified surgically significant stenoses.
  • The balloon served as an effective marker, aiding in limiting surgical intervention.
  • The technique helped avoid complications from unnecessary surgical manipulations.

Conclusions:

  • The described intestinal tube is a valuable tool for diagnosing small intestine stenoses.
  • This device offers significant improvement in managing chronic intestinal obstructive disease.
  • The technique demonstrated successful application in a patient cohort.
