Authors present their experience with the intraoperative enteroscopy method--an invasive technique of small bowel examination. It is performed under narcosis at an operating theatre (i.e. in co-operation with surgeon and anaesthesiologist). The endoscopy-performing physician becomes one of the members of the operating team. The advantage of the method is the possibility to examine of the whole small intestine and to solve immediately the pathological findings by endoscopic or surgical intervention. The examination is invasive and the correct indication is mandatory. Authors report their results of 18 intraoperative panendoscopies of small intestine.
