More than ten years experience with the enteroclysis technique have shown that frequently disappointing results are achieved, always due to technical faults in the performance of the technique. In this article the most important factors for proper technique and the most frequently occurring causes of bad results are mentioned.

Background: High output enterostomy leads to malnutrition and fluid/electrolyte loss which may be challenging to manage despite dietary modification, anti-motility, anti-secretory drugs, and parenteral nutrition. Distal infusion stomal enteroclysis (DISE) is an alternative to restore nutritional deficit and replace parenteral nutrition in resource-limited settings where treatment cost and availability of trained nurses are limiting factors.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of DISE in managing postoperative enterostomal output.

Gastrointestinal bleeding of undetermined origin: What diagnostic strategy to propose?

J Visc Surg

August 2023

Digestive surgery department, university hospital center, avenue de la Côte-de-Nacre, 14000 Caen, France; Inserm 1086 "ANTICIPE" Unit, Centre François-Baclesse "Cancers & Préventions", 14076 Caen cedex, France.

Gastrointestinal bleeding of undetermined origin (GBUO) is defined as gastrointestinal bleeding without an identified cause or location despite an endoscopic assessment including an esogastroduodenal endoscopy (EOGD) and a total colonoscopy. A distinction is made between exteriorized GBUO and non-exteriorized occult GBUO. The causes in the majority of cases (vascular, inflammatory and tumoral) are located in the small intestine.
