Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of capsule endoscopic examination in the diagnosis of vascular malformation of small intestine and discuss the operative method of this disease.
METHODSThe clinical data of 11 cases of vascular malformation of small intestine by the capsule endoscopic diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSAll of the 11 cases received operation with the assistance of intra-operative endoscopic examination, and 10 cases were confirmed to suffer from vascular malformation of small intestine postoperatively. The methods of operation included dot-resection, wedge-shaped resection and segmental resection.
CONCLUSIONSThe capsule endoscopic examination is optimal for the diagnosis of vascular malformation of small intestine. Dot-resection, wedge-shaped resection and segmental resection with the assistance of intra-operative endoscopic examination for the surgical intervention of this disease are recommendable.
