Laparoscopic Approach for the Retrieval of Retained Video Capsule Endoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video capsule endoscopy is now a first-line tool in evaluating and diagnosing gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, and small bowel neoplasms. Capsule nonpassage or retention is an uncommon but clinically significant occurrence. How to best retrieve these retained capsules is currently being debated. We report a laparoscopic approach for the retrieval of a retained capsule in the terminal ileum.
