Application of Positioning of endoscopic titanium clip in laparoscopic intestinal surgery

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application of titanium clip positioning in colonoscopy before the laparoscopic surgery in colon. Methods When the colon tumor were founding in a routine colonoscopy ,positionsing the titanium clip near to the tumor, and taking the abdominal x-ray in decumbent position at once to confirm the projection on the body surface for the tumor positioning before the surgery. The accuracy of barium enema and abdominal X-ray with titanium clip positioning will be observed and compared. Result All the 20 cases using abdominal X-ray and titanium clip positiong in colonoscopy match the operation findings, the accuracry is 100 percent, and the accuracy of other 20 cases using barium enema is 80 percent. Conclusion Titanium clip with abdominal X-ray positioning is accurate to the colon tumor, and it's a reliable positioning method which have conspicuous superiority compared with the barium enema positioning before laparoscopic surgery.
