Intraoperative colonoscopy aids in difficult surgical cases when preoperative exams fail. This technique avoids opening the colon, reducing patient complications and improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Preoperative colonoscopy may be incomplete or not performed, necessitating intraoperative assessment.
  • Intraoperative challenges can arise during colorectal surgery, requiring advanced endoscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of intraoperative colonoscopy in managing complex colorectal surgical cases.
  • To assess the role of intraoperative colonoscopy in lesion localization and management.

Main Methods:

  • Intraoperative colonoscopy was performed in 31 patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
  • Indications included incomplete preoperative colonoscopy, non-palpable lesions, and need for polypectomy or resection plane definition.

Main Results:

  • The technique successfully localized non-palpable lesions and facilitated polypectomy.

  • It helped define resection planes and assess the proximal bowel after tumor resection.
  • Avoiding lumen opening decreased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative colonoscopy is a valuable tool in specific colorectal surgery scenarios.
    • This method enhances surgical precision and patient safety by minimizing complications.
