Rendezvous endoscopy using a transillumination fashion as a feasible and safe alternative to endoscopic ultrasound‐guided recanalization in case of complete anastomotic stricture

Abstract

Abstract Complete colorectal anastomotic strictures are rare and difficult to solve surgical complications. In case of failure of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided recanalization (usually the first choice treatment), rendezvous maneuver using a transillumination fashion represents a feasible and safe procedure to reconstitute the completely obstructed colonic lumen.
