    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of capsule endoscopic examination in the diagnosis of vascular malformation of small intestine and discuss the operative method of this disease. METHODS: The clinical data of 11 cases of vascular malformation of small intestine by the capsule endoscopic diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: All of the 11 cases received operation with the assistance of intra-operative endoscopic examination, and 10 cases were confirmed to suffer from vascular malformation of small intestine postoperatively. The methods of operation included dot-resection, wedge-shaped resection and segmental resection. CONCLUSIONS: The capsule endoscopic examination is optimal for the diagnosis of vascular malformation of small intestine. Dot-resection, wedge-shaped resection and segmental resection with the assistance of intra-operative endoscopic examination for the surgical intervention of this disease are recommendable.
