RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Strictures of the intestine can be difficult to detect despite current radiological techniques. AIM: To review our experience with a new Foley catheter technique. METHOD: Three cases are reviewed in which a Foley catheter was used to identify a fibrous stricture. RESULTS: A Foley catheter with an inflated 10ml balloon inserted through an enterotomy successfully identified the site of stricture in three cases of fibrous stricture obstruction. CONCLUSION: A Foley catheter inserted through an enterotomy is a useful method of identifying fibrous strictures.
