Video capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy were safe and effective in the management of patients with indications other than suspected small bowel bleeding, including celiac disease ...

Motorized spiral enteroscopy may have a technical advantage over single-balloon enteroscopy in reaching mid-small bowel lesions and examining a greater length of bowel in a shorter period of time ...

The other procedures were all less effective than double-balloon enteroscopy and more expensive (except for push enteroscopy at $1,025 per patient).

Sonde enteroscopy involves the use of a long, flexible, fiberoptic instrument propelled through the small bowel by peristalsis; this procedure may allow for viewing the remainder of the small bowel.

Abstract: Balloon-assisted enteroscopy procedures allow visualization and intervention in the small intestine. These balloons anchor an endoscope and/or overtube to the small intestine, allowing ...

A cost-effectiveness analysis conducted by researchers at Stanford University Hospital in Calif., shows that an initial double-balloon enteroscopy is a cost-effective approach for patients with ...

Doctors say for most patients, double balloon enteroscopy is an outpatient procedure. The tool is also useful in removing polyps and detecting some early cancers.

A cost-effectiveness analysis shows that an initial double-balloon enteroscopy is a cost-effective approach for patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. However, capsule-directed DBE ...

This milestone extends Endorail’s application to enteroscopy, making this challenging procedure more accessible and widely available, significantly advancing gastrointestinal endoscopy and improving ...
