  • Title: Intraoperative Enteroscopy: Is There Still a Role?
    Author: Voron T, Rahmi G, Bonnet S, Malamut G, Wind P, Cellier C, Berger A, Douard R.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2017 Jan; 27(1):153-170. PubMed ID: 27908515.
    Abstract:
    Intraoperative enteroscopy (IOE) to explore obscure gastrointestinal bleeding is now rarely indicated. IOE allows complete small bowel exploration in 57% to 100% of cases, finds a bleeding source in 80% of cases, allows the recurrence-free management of gastrointestinal bleeding in 76% of cases, but carries a high morbidity and mortality. IOE only remains indicated to guide the intraoperative treatment of preoperatively identified small bowel lesions when nonoperative treatments are unavailable and/or when intraoperative localization by external examination is impossible.
