Abstract
Endoscopic evaluation of the small bowel (i. e., enteroscopy), on the other hand, poses a unique challenge that has plagued physicians for decades. With the development of new enteroscopic modalities, a more thorough evaluation is now possible. These new techniques comprise small-bowel video capsule endoscopy (VCE) and device-assisted enteroscopy; the latter includes double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE), single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE), spiral enteroscopy, and balloon-guided endoscopy. VCE has revolutionized small-bowel imaging by providing a reliable and non-invasive method for complete visualization and assessment of the mucosal surface. Given the increased detection of small-bowel disease by VCE, innovations in device-assisted enteroscopy have been crucial for histopathological confirmation, enabling endoscopic therapy in selected cases and thus avoiding the need for surgery.
