Intestinal obstruction is the partial or total blockage of the passage of the gastrointestinal system content. Intestinal obstruction is one of the main causes of emergent abdominal operations and the mortality and the morbidity of the condition could be high if not treated properly. Today, emergency colonoscopy can offer diagnosis and treatment for particularly acute mechanical intestinal obstruction in patients with colonic-level. Here, we presented a case of colonic stricture, which was developed due to an anatomic revision surgery, and treated with endoscopic dilatation. Anastomotic strictures endoscopic balloon dilatation of the quick, minimally invasive, high success rate, reproducibility and low complications application.
