Enteroscopy, also called push enteroscopy, is a procedure that examines the small intestine, a very long area of small bowel located between the stomach and colon (large intestine) and made up of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.

2015年9月18日 · Push enteroscopy, readily available in most endoscopy units, plays an important role in the evaluation and management of lesions located up to the proximal jejunum. Currently available device-assisted enteroscopy systems, DBE, SBE, and spiral enteroscopy each have their technical nuances, clinical advantages, and limitations.

Enteroscopy is the procedure of using an endoscope for the direct visualization of the small bowel. Etymologically, the word could potentially refer to any bowel endoscopy (entero- + -scopy), but idiomatically it is conventionally restricted to small bowel endoscopy, in distinction from colonoscopy, which is large bowel endoscopy.

2019年6月16日 · An endoscopy looks at the small intestine, which includes the jejunum. The endoscopy can be done with a physical ‘scope’ the doc looks through or in “capsule” form – in which you swallow a capsule that includes a camera …

2021年5月19日 · There are 3 commercially available forms of deep enteroscopy, all capable of reaching a substantial distance of the small intestine via the oral or rectal route. Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) was introduced in the early 2000s, followed by single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and spiral enteroscopy (SpE).

Capsule endoscopy (CE) has transformed investigation of the small bowel providing a non-invasive, well tolerated means of accurately visualising the distal duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Since the introduction of small bowel CE thirteen years ago a high volume of literature on indications, diagnostic yields and safety profile has been presented.

2020年3月4日 · Capsule endoscopy (CE) and device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) allow the clinician to assess the entire small bowel in the search for suspicious lesions, or a cause of symptoms. In this review, we discuss the role of enteroscopy, techniques and strategies in the diagnosis and management of SBTs, and a brief description of the most common tumors.

2013年6月1日 · The small bowel follows the stomach and is followed by the large intestine, reaching from the pylorus to the valve of Bauhin and is separated into the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Capsule endoscopy (CE) has the potential to offer a perfect overview of the small-bowel mucosa and complete visualization of the entire small bowel is ...

The deeper parts of the jejunum and ileum can be assessed with specialized, longer enteroscopes (eg, double balloon enteroscopy). Several other diagnostic and therapeutic interventions also can be done endoscopically.

2022年6月12日 · Capsule endoscopy (CE) has been shown to have poor diagnostic performance when the capsule passes quickly through the small bowel, especially the proximal jejunum. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of proximal jejunal lesions with third‐generation CE …
