Intraoperative enteroscopy. Ten years´experience at a single tertiary center

Abstrakt

Intra-operative enteroscopy is accepted as the ultimate diagnostic procedure for complete investigation of the small bowel. Despite the current introduction of double-balloon enteroscopy into clinical practice, intra-operative enteroscopy will be preserved for those cases where double-balloon enteroscopy cannot be performed or fails to investigate the entire small intestine, especially to prevent excessive bowel resection.
