Abstract
- Occasionally it is difficult to preoperatively confirm the bleeding focus in acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding patients. Therefore, many diagnostic evaluations are needed - for example, colonoscopy, selective mesenteric angiography and Tc-99m RBC scintigraphy. However, if the bleeding focus remains unconfirmed preoperatively when the patient's state is unstable hemodynamically, the surgeon must inevitably perform exploratory laparotomy, followed by intraoperative endoscopy. We herein propose a new method of intraoperative endoscopy using Trocar(R) (Ethicon). Trocar(R) (Ethicon) was used in laparoscopic operation. This method has the merits of no air leakage, no contamination, fewer complicatons and ease of evaluation. We recommend that the use of Trocar(R) (Ethicon) in intraoperative endoscopy is essential in emergency operations for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
