Intraoperative enteroscopy: ten years' experience at a single tertiary center.

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Intraoperative enteroscopy is an invasive technique for small bowel investigation. It enables us to investigate the entire small intestine and to treat pathological findings by endoscopic or surgical means at the same time. The investigation is invasive and that is why the proper indication is mandatory. RESULTS: Forty-one intraoperative enteroscopies were performed at our center within a 10-year period. The procedure was diagnostic in 37/41 patients (90.2%); in 3 patients no pathology was found, and in 1 patient we found only previously diagnosed celiac disease. The investigation was therapeutic in 35/41 (85.4%) patients; 2 patients with small bowel ulcers did not require any intraoperative therapy. The pathological findings were arteriovenous malformations (found in 12 patients), small bowel NSAID-induced or Crohn's ulcers (8 patients)--ulcerations and arteriovenous malformations were simultaneously found in three patients; carcinoid of the small intestine (5 patients); Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (5 patients); bleeding polyps (2 gastrointestinal stromal tumors, 1 paraganglioma, and 1 lipoma--in 4 patients); Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (2 patients); multiple cavernous hemangiomas in blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (1 patient); Henoch-Schönlein purpura (1 patient); aortoenteral fistula (1 patient); and retrograde intussusception of Meckel's diverticulum (1 patient). In five patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, 6-22 hamartomas (median of 18 per session) were removed by means of endoscopic polypectomy during intraoperative enteroscopy. There were no major procedure-related complications in our series. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative enteroscopy is accepted as the ultimate diagnostic procedure for complete investigation of the small bowel. Despite the introduction of double-balloon enteroscopy into clinical practice, intraoperative enteroscopy will be reserved for those cases where double-balloon enteroscopy cannot be performed or fails to investigate the entire small intestine, especially to prevent excessive bowel resection.

[Paliative managment of oesophageal carcinomas--our experience].

The authors of this presentation explain their experience with methods of paliative care of oesophagus carcinoma. The indication criteria are described and compared advantages and disadvantages of those methods. There is an accent in most frequent method--oesophagus stent implementation. The results in the group of patients after the stent implementation are described, also complications and other solutions.

[Retroperitoneal hemangioma--a case report].

Localization of hemangioma in retroperineum causes late diagnosis of the disease. The tumour is usually detected only when the clinical symptoms caused by the pressure of the surrounding tissues occur. This article presents the case of retroperitoneal hemangioma preoperatively diagnosed as suspect feochromocytoma.

[Small bowel carcinoid].

Tumors of the small intestine can be fatal from the oncologic point of view. Its quite sporadic incidence and absence of early clinical symptoms lead to its very difficult diagnosis. Carcinoid stays as the second most often tumor of the small intestine and it is qualified by some authors as semimalignant. The case report presented is aimed at that issue.

[Liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma].

The surgical resection of liver metastasis is still rather rare in the Czech Republic. The survey of literature indicates that correctly indicated metastasectomy is the method of the first choice. Five years after metastasectomy one third of patients who underwent surgical intervention still lives.

[Unusual cause of the acute appendicitis].

Exogenous foreign particles in the appendix rarely case appendicitis. Their prevalence is reported to be 0.0005%. This fact makes both lay and medical community underestimate possible complications related to the presence of foreign particles in the appendix lumen. Our case review documents risks related with swallowing a sharp foreign particle. The particle concerned was a tooth root--on prosthesis with an acrylic crown, which caused acute appendicitis with the appendical wall perforation by the above mentioned foreign body.

[Laser palliative destruction of rectum carcinoma--case reports].

The palliative treatment of developed primary or recurrent rectum carcinoma is still an important issue in treatment of this disease. The aim of the surgery is in such case to remove the tumorous obstacle and to prevent the development of ileus, to reduce pain, to limit the volume of tumorous tissue, to prevent bleeding and possible incontinence or mucous secretion. The transanal laser thermodestruction of the tumor represents one of the possible ways of palliative treatment of rectum carcinoma. The method is very considerate even for the high risk patients. On the other hand it requires a short-term hospitalization. The method of transanal laser evaporisation of carcinoma is also important from the ethical point of view: in many cases it may prevent the creation of palliative derivative colostomy. This fact is very important especially in patients with the terminal stage of the malign carcinoma because they live the rest of their lives in acceptable conditions. The important benefits are described in three case histories. The method is presented as an urgent surgery in solution of ileus which is based on tumorous rectum stenosis.

[Intraoperative enteroscopy--personal experience from 1995 to 2002].

Authors present their experience with the intraoperative enteroscopy method--an invasive technique of small bowel examination. It is performed under narcosis at an operating theatre (i.e. in co-operation with surgeon and anaesthesiologist). The endoscopy-performing physician becomes one of the members of the operating team. The advantage of the method is the possibility to examine of the whole small intestine and to solve immediately the pathological findings by endoscopic or surgical intervention. The examination is invasive and the correct indication is mandatory. Authors report their results of 18 intraoperative panendoscopies of small intestine.

[Cholestatic icterus during parenteral nutrition and the therapeutic effect of enteral feeding--case report].

An acute operation was made on a 56-year woman for inflammatory perforation of colon. A series of repeated operations followed due to relapsing iatrogenic intestinal fistula and peritonitis. From the day 70 the patient was treated at the Intensive Metabolic Care Unit of the Gerontological and Metabolic Clinic of Faculty Hospital in Hradec Králové. Having cured the septic shock the authors prepared the patient to a reconstruction operation on alimentary tract by administering parenteral nutrition, treating the wounds and by motion rehabilitation. From day 150 on the patient was treated with low doses of enteral nutrition into the segment of intestine between the fistulas, in connection with the subsequent decrease of two-month lasting hyperbilirubinemia of 200-260 mumol/l. A successful reconstruction of the alimentary tract was performed on the day 205 of the treatment with the time lapse of 146 days after the last surgical intervention. A three-fold anastomosis on small intestine and a resection of the fistula on the transversal colon was made. The post-operation fistula was healed-up conservatively, while the parenteral nutrition continued, as verified on day 246 by enteroclysis. The paper draws attention to the importance of conservative metabolic care in the therapy of dishiscences of intestinal anastomoses not treated by acute surgery in time. A favourable additive effect of enteral nutrition on the persisting cholestasis during parenteral nutrition is discussed.

Importance of the anorectal manometry in chronic anal fissure.

This publication presents the results of postoperative manometric investigations of 77 patients with anal fissure treated within the time span 1985-1997 by lateral sphincterotomy (LS). Results of manometric investigations are compared with digital anal examinations and subjective complaints of patients. Digital anal examination correlated with manometry results in 52 cases (68%). The correspondence between these two results was proved in 48 cases when normal finding was present. An increased sphincter tonus was found in 3 patients, all of them having the anal fissure recurrences. A marked sphincters insufficiency, which had been manifested by stool and gas incontinence was found in one case. When searching for the reason of this complication we found out that this operation procedure had been performed by an unexperienced team of surgeons. In 25 cases (32%) the digital anal assessment and manometric measurement were different. Nevertheless, the clinical symptoms in this group of patients were rather poor. To conclude we may state that manometry provides important data for preoperative evaluation of anal sphincter function and should be performed prior to lateral sphincterotomy operation at least in women.

Assessment of sphincterotomy results in patients treated for anal fissure.

OBJECTIVE: This paper summarizes results of a study of 90 patients operated on for chronic anal fissure with lateral sphincterotomy (LS) between 1985 and 1997. METHODS: Preoperative and postoperative complaints, anal examination and continence were evaluated. All patients were asked to rate the results of LS as very good, good, satisfactory or unsatisfactory. RESULTS: Sixty-six patients (73.3%) judged the results of LS to be very good. Only 4 (4.4%) judged the results unsatisfactory and 1 patient (1.1%) considered the results satisfactory. Recurrent anal fissure was found in 4 cases (4.4%). Two patients developed a fistula in connection with the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Lateral sphincterotomy is a safe and simple operation that yields good results. However, LS should be diagnosed and performed by a surgeon skilled in proctologic surgery.

[Solitary rectal ulcer].

The solitary rectal ulcer syndrome describes a condition in which a symptom complex consists of rectal bleeding, mucous discharge, tenesmus, perineal or abdominal pain, a feeling of obstructed defecation and incomplete evacuation and developing of rectal stenosis. The etiology of this disease is not known yet. The histological diagnosis is very important, because of excluding the diagnosis of malignancy. According to diagnostic results, the type of therapeutic method is used. The initial conservative methods are suggested in every time. In the case of failure of this method, the surgical procedure is chosen. An operative specimen must be histologically investigated in every case.

[CT-pneumocolon in the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma].

Accurate preoperative examination and early diagnosis of possible recurrence of the disease play an important role in successful therapy of colorectal carcinoma. At present, modifications of classical examination are being applied, too. In this paper the first experience in using the CT pneumocolon for diagnosing the colorectal cancer is presented. The method improves the diagnostic possibilities of the classical CT examination technique. It enables to image the morphology of the tumour in the air insufflated colon lumen, tumour infiltration outside intestinal wall, localization of organs in the presupposed operation field and possible infiltration of lymph-nodes or liver metastases. The examination has proved easy to be performed with minimal patient's discomfort.
