Diagnostic And Therapeutic Impact Of Novel Motorized Spiral Enteroscopy In Patients With Small Bowel Pathologies: A Single Center Cohort Study

Currently available methods of deep enteroscopy have its own strengths and limitations. Although double balloon enteroscopy was reported to have a pooled total enteroscopy rate (TER) of 44%, the procedure is often time consuming. While manual spiral enteroscopy was reported to have a shorter procedure time, low TER has been its drawback. Recently, a novel motorized spiral enteroscope (MSE) (Olympus Medical, Japan) has become available, but data on its clinical utility remains scarce. We aim to evaluate the clinical impact of MSE in patients with suspected small bowel pathologies.
