APPLICABILITY OF COLON CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY AS PAN-ENDOSCOPY: FROM BOWEL PREPARATION, TRANSIT TIMES AND COMPLETION RATE TO RATING TIMES AND PATIENT ACCEPTANCE

Aims Despite its noninvasive character and its potential to explore the entire gastrointestinal tract, implementation of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) as pan-endoscopy has not yet been achieved. The applicability of CCE as pan-endoscopy is highly dependent on several quality parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate these parameters to determine which factors need optimization.
