Background:

Small bowel biopsy is crucial for diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions.
Existing biopsy techniques can be invasive and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a refined technique for small bowel biopsy.
To evaluate the efficiency and safety of this novel method.

Main Methods:

The described technique was performed on 190 patients over four years.
Procedure duration and fluoroscopy times were meticulously recorded.

Main Results:

77% of examinations were completed in under 10 minutes.
75% of cases had fluoroscopy times below 10 seconds.
The technique proved to be easily teachable.

Conclusions:

The described small bowel biopsy technique is efficient and safe.
It simplifies the procedure, classifying it as a minor examination.
This method is suitable for widespread clinical adoption and training.
