| [ Summary ] |
A man in his 50s underwent right hemicolectomy for ileal perforation and peritonitis secondary to Crohn's disease, approximately 30 years prior to presentation. He currently presented with loose stools, abdominal pain, and increased frequency of bowel movements. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (CE) was performed after the administration of the patency capsule; however, the CE was not discharged within the battery operating time. Imaging revealed RTA and stenosis in the anastomotic area. Double-balloon endoscopy was performed using a calibrated small-caliber-tip transparent hood to evaluate the stenosis, and the site of stenosis was dilated endoscopically using a balloon dilator. |
