Background:

Enteroclysis requires specialized procedures for small bowel intubation.
Traditional methods can be time-consuming and involve significant radiation exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel method for concurrent upper endoscopy and enteroclysis.
To evaluate the feasibility and benefits of this combined approach.

Main Methods:

A technique for passing the enteroclysis catheter during upper endoscopy was developed.
Patient outcomes including comfort, procedure time, and radiation dose were assessed.

Main Results:

The developed method successfully facilitated enteroclysis catheter passage during endoscopy.
Significant reductions in patient discomfort, fluoroscopic time, and radiation doses were observed.

Conclusions:

Combined endoscopy and enteroclysis is a practical and beneficial approach for patients.
This technique offers an improved patient experience and reduced procedural risks.
