Small Bowel-ORIFICE TO ORIFICE EVALUATION IN A SINGLE EXAM

ORIFICE TO ORIFICE EVALUATION IN A SINGLE EXAM

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video demonstrates a case of a 50-year-old male with Pewts-Jagers syndrome who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. The video shows the feasibility of performing a complete enterocolonoscopy using a therapeutic double-balloon entroscope. Multiple polyps in the small bowel were observed and resected, with some causing bleeding. During the procedure, the stiffening wire snapped, but was successfully retrieved and the procedure was completed without complications. The video highlights the importance and safety of performing through-and-through enterocolonoscopies, particularly in patients with a history of bowel resection. Advancing the entroscope outside the anus may be an option to salvage a long procedure. No financial disclosures were made by the authors.
