978 eus-guided ileocolonic anastomosis for relief of complete small bowel obstruction

A 65 year old male with a history of HIV (CD4: 347), COPD, hypertension, and anal squamous cell carcinoma status post diverting colostomy, and adjuvant chemoradiation developed recurrent small bowel obstruction (SBO) requiring ileocecectomy with ileocolonic anastomosis. Following an extended admission at our institution for SBO with failure of conservative treatment, the patient was taken to the operating room for surgical management with laparotomy and lysis of adhesions; a gastrostomy tube was placed at that time for gastric decompression.
