Intraoperative colonoscopy

Abstract: From 1987 to 1991, we performed intraoperative colonoscopy on 66 patients as a result of the following indications: the air leakage test (53%), detection of a previous malignant polypectomy site (20%), inability to complete preoperative colonoscopy (17%), detection of the source of intestinal bleeding (4%), and detection of impalpable colonic lesions (4%). Intraoperative colonoscopy was successful in 61/66 patients and provided information that altered the planned operation in 10 of 61 completely examined pati… Show more

“…Its usefulness has been documented in both emergency and elective laparotomy and laparoscopic surgeries [17][18][19][20][21][22]. In emergency settings, it helps in identifying sources of obscure intestinal tract bleeding and abdominal sepsis in critically ill patients.…”

“…It is possible to locate the site of a tumor or a resected polypectomy site by performing intraoperative colonoscopy [6,18,19]. The role of this procedure in detecting the source of gastrointestinal bleeding, completing an incomplete preoperative colonoscopic examination [19], and evaluating low rectal lesions is often irreplaceable [12].…”

“…Persons spreading ideas concerning performance of intraoperational colonoscopy face yet another accusation, namely potential diffi culties in reaching caecum and lack of possibility to comprehensively evaluate large intestinal mucosa, as it is impossible to thoroughly prepare the patient for examination. Cohen and Forde stated that it was possible to evaluate large intestinal mucosa in 93% of patients, Sakanoue et al obtained similar results, and he states that complete evaluation may be achieved in 92% of patients (12,22). North et al also report a high efficiency of intraoperational colonoscopy, reaching 99% (16).…”
