Enteroscopy 2015

Enteroscopy refers to endoscopic examination of the
small intestine. Although limited small-bowel evaluation
is undertaken during EGD and is possible during colonoscopy,
enteroscopy typically refers to more extensive endoscopic
examination of the small intestine, extending into
the jejunum and/or ileum. Diagnostic evaluation of the
small bowel can be performed by noninvasive imaging
(CT or magnetic resonance enterography) or by wireless
capsule endoscopy (WCE). Whereas these modalities
currently lack therapeutic ability, they often precede and
serve to guide and direct therapy via enteroscopy. WCE
was discussed in a previous ASGE Technology Committee
document.1 This document will focus on endoscopes, devices,
and techniques used for enteroscopy and represents
an update of a previous ASGE Technology Status Evaluation
Report titled “Enteroscopes.”
