Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy: Experience From a Single Large Tertiary Care Centre

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Examination of the small bowel has been considered a challenge for several anatomical (i.e. distance from external orifices, length) and physiological (i.e. active peristalsis) reasons. Conventional techniques of endoscopy are limited by length while radiologic examinations, such as barium studies, are insensitive for evaluating small bowel pathology. An ingestible miniature camera device capable of obtaining images of the whole small intestine was developed due to a need for the exploration of this "final frontier". The purpose of this article is to review and share our institution's results using small bowel capsule endoscopy, with special reference to the existing literature.

Conditions

  • Small Bowel Disease
  • Small Bowel Ulcers
  • Capsule Endoscopy
  • Small Bowel Tumor

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Small Bowel Capsule Endosocopy

A wireless capsule is ingested by the patient. It moves passively along with the peristaltic movements to capture images of the small intestine. The images are processed and recorded by data recorder worn on a belt. The recorded images are downloaded and analyzed by the computer software.
