Abstract

Small-bowel endoscopy is now an essential tool for the investigation of patients with suspected small-bowel disorders. The current endoscopic methods to investigate the small-bowel lumen are: video capsule endoscopy (VCE) and deviceassisted enteroscopy (DAE). DAE comprises single balloon, double balloon, and spiral enteroscopy. The interest in small-bowel diseases andmethods to diagnose and treat them endoscopically continues to increase, as reflected by the contributions to this year’s Digestive Disease Week (7–10 May 2011; Chicago, Illinois, USA).
