  • Title: [Peroperative enteroscopy in recurrent hemorrhage of the small intestine].
    Author: Pierrugues R, Avril P, Amoyal P, Balmes M, Michel H.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 1989; 43(7):539-41. PubMed ID: 2619221.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of severe, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding due to a small vascular lesion of the small intestine are presented. In the two patients, the diagnosis was established by intra-operative enteroscopy; in the first patient during laparotomy carried out after negative preoperative investigations; in the second, 48 hours after a right ileo-colic resection was performed for Crohn's disease of the ileum thought to be the cause of the bleeding. These two cases confirm that intra-operative enteroscopy is a very effective method to detect bleeding from small intestinal lesions, and that it should be used when pre-operative investigations and intraoperative examination are unsuccessful.
