The Use of Gastrografin in Chronic Radiation Enteropathy With Small Bowel Obstruction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Chronic radiation enteropathy (CRE) is a major issue for long-term cancer survivors. The aim of this study was to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic effect of the Gastrografin (GG) challenge for patients with CRE induced small bowel obstruction SBO.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The rate of successful conservative treatment [5 days]
The rate of patients who need for operative intervention within 48 hours of randomization.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The time to resolution [2 weeks]
The time to resolution of ASIO (flatus and bowel motion).
- The length of hospital stays [2 weeks]
The length of hospital stays (in hours, calculated from the hospital admission to resolution of intestinal obstruction).

-
a colostomy or ileostomy;
-
large bowel obstruction;
-
with a known history of either allergy or hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast agents;
