Abstract EN
We present an unusual case of a 35-year-old male patient whom a patency capsule stayed in his gut without breaking.
He has a history of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and multiple abdominal surgeries.
Prestudy was performed for abdominal searching, but a patency capsule remained in the colon over 9 days.
He displayed neither abdominal nor obstructive symptoms in that period.
We collected the patency capsule using colonoscopy after dilating a postoperative stricture at an anastomotic site of the rectum.
Clinicians should bear in mind that patency capsules may become retained as distally as the colon in patients with a surgical history of the large intestine.
