THE EXPERIENCE OF DOUBLE BALLOON ENTEROSCOPY AT THE SMALL INTESTINE AND PANCREATOBILIARY ZONE PATHOLOGY


Objectives. To inform about the results of both diagnostic and therapeutic double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in the patients suspected to have the small intestine pathology of various etiology as well as at the disorders of the pancreatobiliary zone after previously performed reconstructive surgeries on the biliary ducts.
Methods. Double balloon enteroscopy was carried out in 39 patients (45 investigations) in order to diagnose the small intestine and hepaticojejunostomy strictures pathology after reconstructive surgeries on the biliary ducts.
Results. The source of the intestinal hemorrhage was revealed in 9 patients, arteriovenous malformations in 8, epithelial growths of the small intestine in 3, Crohn disease of the small intestine in 2. The Roux loop and hepaticojejunostomy zone examination was successful in 17 patients. The hepaticojejunostomy zone was visualized in 8 patients (47%): in 3 cases anastomosis functioned adequately, in 5 patients the stricture was confirmed. DBE-cholangiography was performed in 4 patients.
Conclusions. The DBE application experience shows that inaccessible parts of the gastrointestinal tract have become available for diagnostics and possibility for performing not only morphological verification of a diagnosis but also for the number of therapeutic endoscopic procedures.

Keywords: double balloon enteroscopy, intestinal hemorrhage, small intestine growths, hepaticojejunostomy, stricture
