    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intraoperative endoscopy using flexible fiberoptic endoscopes aided surgeons in 28 of 30 patients with complex gastrointestinal issues. This minimally invasive technique resolved dilemmas, located bleeding, and resected lesions without major complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Techniques
    • Diagnostic Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Flexible fiberoptic endoscopes have been adapted for intraoperative use in gastrointestinal surgery.
    • This technique aims to address complex surgical challenges and enhance diagnostic capabilities during laparotomy.

    Observation:

    • The study presents a four-year experience with intraoperative endoscopy in 30 patients undergoing various gastrointestinal procedures.
    • Endoscopy was employed for locating obscure bleeding, resolving surgical dilemmas, resecting lesions, and improving intraoperative diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Intraoperative endoscopy proved beneficial in 28 out of 30 patients (93.3%) without any reported complications.
    • The technique successfully aided in managing difficult gastrointestinal surgical problems.
