Abstract
- For the patients presenting with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, various diagnostic approaches have been tried such as push enteroscopy, technetium labeled RBC scan and enteroclysis. Capsule endoscopy is an emerging and powerful diagnostic method that enables physicians to investigate the entire small bowel. Therefore, it is useful to make a correct diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in cases with negative findings by endoscopy or colonoscopic examination. We experienced a case of a 30 year-old male patient who presented with obscure intestinal bleeding, and this was diagnosed with capsule endoscopy and he was treated with laparoscopic assisted small bowel resection.
