Augmented Endoscopy Imaging in the Study of Digestive Anastomosis: Does It Really Work and How?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Endoscopic Follow-up of Digestive Anastomosis

Abstract

Digestive anastomotic sites are often exposed to several mechanical stimuli. Therefore, erosions or hyperplastic changes often occur on there. In contrast, neoplastic lesions, both benign and malignant, sometimes occur on the anastomotic site. In the cases which the previous surgery was performed for a nonneoplastic disease, the neoplastic lesion on the anastomotic site occurs incidentally or partly due to the increased stimulus after surgery. In the cases which the previous surgery was due to a neoplastic lesion, anastomotic recurrence, metachronous cancer, and previously overlooked neoplasm are considered as the causes of anastomotic neoplasm. The augmented endoscopy (e.g., magnifying chromoendoscopy , narrow band imaging) may be useful to distinguish the anastomotic recurrence from benign erosion or hyperplastic change. In this chapter, we would like to introduce such advanced endoscopic modalities in the study of digestive anastomosis .
