The endoscopy corner: ileoscopy: I. evaluation of "ileostomy dysfunction"
Abstract
Various causes of "ileostomy dysfunction" may be easily identified using the pediatric-size flexible fiberoptic endoscope. Direct visual inspection, photographs, and biopsies may be obtained from the area around the stoma up to a depth of 40-50 cm. within the small bowel.
