A new technique for intraoperative enteroscopy using a 12-mm trocar

Abstract: Intraoperative enteroscopy is a valuable method for localizing gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure origin. The insertion and manipulation of an endoscope through an enterotomy, however, may result in significant trauma to the intestinal wall, as well as contamination of the abdominal cavity. We have devised a new technique for the introduction of the endoscope that lessens trauma to the bowel wall and allows a complete enteroscopy with minimal contamination.

“…Ileus, postsurgical small bowel obstruction, parietal infection, Douglas abscess, and ventral hernia are described as major surgical complications. Gorski et al 5 and Agarwal 6 in 1999 described for the first time a technical solution to minimize a surgical field contamination during IOE using a 12-mm trocar or a laparoscope, respectively. The techniques could be used in combination with laparoscopic surgery, 3 even more decreasing the contamination.…”
