The role of capsule endoscopy in small bowel pathology: a review of 122 cases
Mohammad I Khan, Megan Johnston, Robert Cunliffe, Adrian Claydon
Small bowel capsule endoscopy (CE) has been introduced in NZ in all of the tertiary and some secondary centres over the last few years. We describe our experience with CE from a single centre in NZ. In this 2-year, retrospective, study of 122 consecutive patients, data was collected on multiple variables from the patient clinical, laboratory, and radiology records. We found, in line with international findings, that CE is the best minimally invasive procedure for small bowel imaging currently available.
