Summary

Overall Aim:

This study is designed to assess the role of ballon-assisted enteroscopy in the management of obscure small intestinal disorders in a tertiary-care center in Upper Eygpt.

Specific objectives:

1. Evaluate the technical success rate and causes of the procedure in our locality
2. Explore the value and safety of BAE in the diagnose and treatment of suspected small bowel diseases.
3. Assess patients' and endoscopists' satisfaction related to the procedure.
4. Define the indications, diagnostic yield and appropriatness of BAE in our center.
