Abstract:
Objective To study on the effectiveness of endoscopy in diagnosing the gallbladder-intestine fistula. Methods The clinical datum of 24 patients with gallbladder-intestine fistula from January 1982 to March 2004 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. All patients were examined by endoscopy and confirmed from operation. Results Twenty-one out of 24 patients were finally diagnosed by endoscopy while 3 of them were misdiagnosed. Other examinations among the 24 patients included B ultrasound 11 , computer tomography (CT) 5, and abdominal plain films 7; none of them was finally diagnosed by these measures. Two out of 8 patients were finally diagnosed by barium meal or enema roentgenogram. Conclusion Endoscopy was an important method in diagnosing the gallbladder-intestine fistula. The diagnostic level would be improved if the specific characters of endoscopies in this entity were fully recognized.
