Wireless capsule endoscopy is a new tool in the armamentarium of the gastroenterologist to evaluate the small bowel non-invasively. It allows improved diagnostic yield with low complication rates relative to traditional modalities. But this new technology has its own set of complications, some which can lead to significant morbidity. Here, we present a case of complete small bowel obstruction f...

Fluorescence Imaging (FI) is a powerful technique in biological science and clinical medicine. Current FI devices that are used either for in-vivo or in-vitro studies are expensive, bulky and consume substantial power, confining the technique to laboratories and hospital examination rooms. Here we present a miniaturised wireless fluorescence endoscope capsule with low power consumption that wil...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of wireless capsule endoscopy in Chinese patients. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS Twenty-eight patients who had undergone wireless capsule endoscopy between December 2002 and December 2003. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Diagnoses according to findings of capsule endoscopy and complications from the procedure...

INTRODUCTION Wireless capsule endoscopy is an important tool for minimally invasive evaluation of the small bowel, allowing improved diagnostic yield with low complication rates relative to traditional modalities. Recently however, reports on small bowel perforation after wireless capsule endoscopy have surfaced. Here we present the first case of acute small bowel perforation in a middle-aged m...
