Abstract

Enteroscopy offered the opportunity for the treatment of various small bowel diseases. In this chapter, we presented interesting cases with enteroscopic therapy in different conditions, especially in patients with altered gastric anatomy. Authors demonstrated double-balloon enteroscopy for difficult colon insertion, jejunal ulcer bleeding treated by argon plasma coagulation, lymphangioma bleeding treated by argon plasma coagulation, double-balloon enteroscopy using in a Roux-en-Y anastomosis for migrated metallic stent removal, and double-balloon enteroscopy for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in a patient with Billroth II gastrojejunostomy.
