Abstract

Identification of sites of small bowel hemorrhage remains a difficult problem. Endoscopy performed in association with surgery often proves successful when other attempts have failed. In attempts to minimize morbidity and even increase accuracy, surgeons have explored combining laparoscopic techniques with endoscopy. Although published experiences remain few, expectations remain high. Copyright © 2001 by W.B. Saunders Company.
