Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Imaging
  • Diagnostic Modalities

Background:

  • Small bowel endoscopy literature from September 2001 to September 2002 was reviewed.
  • MEDLINE and hand searches of major gastroenterology journals were conducted.
  • Focus was on published reports, excluding abstracts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and assess the current state of small bowel endoscopy.
  • To evaluate the role of different enteroscopy techniques.
  • To highlight emerging technologies in small bowel diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published reports on small bowel endoscopy.
  • Searches included terms like "small-bowel endoscopy", "enteroscopy", and "wireless endoscopy".
  • Analysis of push enteroscopy, intraoperative enteroscopy, and wireless capsule endoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Sonde small-bowel enteroscopy is no longer considered a viable investigation tool.
  • Push enteroscopy remains relevant, with 11 papers published since 2002.
  • Wireless capsule endoscopy shows significant promise and increasing enthusiasm among gastroenterologists.

Conclusions:

  • Wireless capsule endoscopy is a rapidly advancing and exciting new modality for small bowel imaging.
  • Push enteroscopy continues to have a role in small bowel evaluation.
  • Further research and application of wireless capsule endoscopy are anticipated.
