    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopic Procedures
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Small bowel disease diagnosis often relies on invasive biopsy procedures.
    • Conventional suction biopsy methods have limitations in accessibility and patient comfort.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fiberoptic endoscopic duodenal forceps biopsy for diagnosing small bowel disease.
    • To compare the diagnostic yield of endoscopic duodenal biopsy with conventional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Ninety-three patients with suspected small bowel disease underwent duodenal biopsy using a fiberoptic endoscope.
    • Biopsies were taken from the distal duodenum, oriented on plastic mesh, and examined via stereomicroscopy and histology.
    • Comparison was made with biopsies obtained using a hydraulic multiple biopsy capsule.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopic duodenal biopsy demonstrated no failures or complications in 93 patients.
    • Histological interpretation was satisfactory for 56% of endoscopic biopsies, with at least one satisfactory biopsy obtained from 87% of patients.
    • The diagnostic yield was comparable to conventional methods, with endoscopic biopsies showing advantages.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic duodenal forceps biopsy is a safe and effective alternative to conventional suction biopsy for diagnosing small bowel conditions.
    • This endoscopic approach offers significant advantages over traditional methods.
    • Further research can explore optimizing this technique for broader clinical application.
