[Role of endoscopy in diagnosing rare sources of small intestinal bleedings due to vascular disorders]

The authors describe two cases of intraoperative endoscopic diagnosis of hemangioma and vasculitis of the small intestine. The examination was conducted during laparotomy by colonoileoscopy and enterotomy. The authors believe this method to be most effective in emergency surgery when the operation cannot be postponed because of the patient's severe condition caused by hemorrhagic shock.
