Capsule endoscopy is a diagnostic tool for the small bowel. This review covers capsule passage, retention risks, and management strategies for capsule retention.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Capsule endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure.
  • It allows visualization of the entire small bowel, a region difficult to access with traditional endoscopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of capsule endoscopy for small bowel examination.
  • To discuss the potential complication of capsule retention and its management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines on capsule endoscopy.
  • Description of the device's passage through the esophagus and stomach.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to capsule retention.

Main Results:

  • Capsule endoscopy typically traverses the esophagus and stomach without issue.
