Spiral Enteroscopy Utilizing Capsule Location Index for Achieving High Diagnostic and Therapeutic Yield
Background and Aim. Spiral enteroscopy (SE) is a new small bowel endoscopic technique. Our aim is to review the diagnostic and therapeutic yield, safety of SE, and the predictive role of prior capsule endoscopy (CE) at an academic center. Methods. A retrospective review of patients undergoing SE after prior CE between 2008 and 2013 was performed. Capsule location index (CLI) was defined as the ...
متن کاملLearning curve, diagnostic yield and safety of single balloon enteroscopy.
BACKGROUND Single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is a recently developed diagnostic modality to assess small bowel mucosa. The data on learning curve of SBE is scanty. We aimed to assess the learning curve, diagnostic yield and safety of SBE. METHODS All patients who underwent SBE at our centre from December 2007 to December 2010 were included retrospectively. The clinical details, enteroscopy fin...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Enteroscopy to Spiral Enteroscopy
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of small bowel conditions is a challenging area for gastroenterologists. Until recently, it was not possible to access most of the small bowel using endoscopic techniques without concomitant surgery. Capsule endoscopy and balloon-assisted enteroscopy thus represent decisive breakthroughs in this field. Capsule endoscopy allows endoscopic visualiza...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of push-type enteroscopy in relation to indication.
BACKGROUND Push-type enteroscopy, a recent method for investigating the small intestine, is currently undergoing assessment. Its diagnostic yield varies in the studies reported to date. AIM To assess the diagnostic value of push-type enteroscopy according to indication. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 1994 to September 1995, 152 consecutive patients (mean age 34 years) underwent push-type...
متن کاملDiagnostic and therapeutic push type enteroscopy in clinical use.
This study describes small bowel push enteroscopy in routine clinical practice, using a purpose designed instrument (Olympus SIF-10). Fifty six patients had a total of 60 procedures over a two and a half year period. The median (range) depth of small intestine intubated was 45 (15-90) cm. Procedure time varied from 10-45 minutes. Most enteroscopies were performed during routine gastroscopy list...
