Intraoperative colonoscopy aids surgeons in defining lesion location and extent during surgery. This procedure complements preoperative colonoscopy for better surgical planning and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Context:

  • Intraoperative colonoscopy was performed on 37 patients between January 1987 and December 1991.
  • Indications included defining lesion site or extent detected preoperatively.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility of intraoperative colonoscopy in surgical planning.
  • To determine when this procedure is necessary for guiding surgical treatment.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed 37 cases of intraoperative colonoscopy used to clarify lesion characteristics before or during surgery.
  • The procedure was deemed necessary when preoperative endoscopy findings required intraoperative confirmation or definition.

Impact:

  • Intraoperative colonoscopy can be a valuable tool for surgical decision-making.
