Technical modification of the double-balloon endoscopy to access to the proximal side of the stenosis in the distal colon - 18/08/11
Tochigi, Japan
Abstract |
Background |
The inability to pass endoscopes beyond strictures is a considerable problem in patients with a colonic stricture.
Methods |
In patients with bowel obstruction, we have modified the insertion method for double-balloon endoscopy with a long, transnasal decompression tube.
Observations |
We have succeeded in reaching the proximal side of the stricture from the oral approach across the entire small bowel in a patient.
Conclusions |
This modified double-balloon enteroscopy is useful for patients with bowel obstruction in whom a long decompression tube is already placed.
