- Abstract
This article, published in Clinical Endoscopy, discusses the use of gel immersion endoscopy (GIE) with inflated balloons on the tip of a double balloon endoscope for effective hemostasis in cases of active bleeding in the small intestine. GIE using an electrolyte-free gel has been found to be useful for securing the visual field during endoscopy for gastrointestinal bleeding. The gel can replace blood and the insufflation of the endoscope balloon helps push away blood and hold the intestinal wall, allowing for better visualization and treatment. The article presents a case study of a successful treatment using this technique.
