Abstract
INTRODUCTION Motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE) is a promising novel deep enteroscopy technique. The purpose of our study was to evaluate efficiency and safety of MSE in a single tertiary endoscopy center. METHODS We prospectively evaluated all consecutive patients undergoing MSE in our endoscopy unit from June 2019 through June 2022. Main outcomes were technical success rate, proportion of procedures with sufficient depth of insertion, success rate of total enteroscopy, diagnostic yield and complication rate. RESULTS A total of 82 examinations in 62 patients (56% males, mean age 58 ± 18 years) were performed, 56 from antegrade and 26 from retrograde approach. Technical success rate was 94% (77/82) and in 89% (72/82) of cases, depth of insertion was considered sufficient. Total enteroscopy was indicated in 19 patients and it was achieved in 16 of them (84%), either by antegrade in 4 or by combined approach in 12 cases. Diagnostic yield was 81%. Lesion of the small bowel was found in 43 of patients. Mean insertion time was 40 for antegrade and 44 min for retrograde procedures, respectively. Complications occurred in 3% (2/62) of patients. One patient suffered from mild acute pancreatitis after total enteroscopy and there was one intussusception of the sigmoid during endoscope withdrawal resolved by parallel colonoscope insertion. CONCLUSION In our series of 82 procedures in 62 patients examined by MSE during a three-year period, we show high technical success rate (94%), diagnostic yield (81%) and low complication rate (3%).

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Aims With the growing multidisciplinary model of practice in the management of complex inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and rising incidence of IBD, interventional IBD (IIBD) promises to play a key role. We aimed to evaluate current the role of IIBD in India and its short-term outcomes.
Methods IBD patients undergoing IIBD procedures for stricture, bleeding, colitis-associated neoplasia, therapeutic small bowel endoscopy including retained capsule retrieval and postsurgical complications were enrolled prospectively between September 2021 and May 2022. Demographic and disease details, indications, initial and redo procedure details, technical/clinical success, and complications were recorded.
Results IIBD procedures were performed in total 54 patients (61% males, median age: 37.5 years, range: 21–74 years, Crohn's disease [CD]: 42, ulcerative colitis [UC]: 12 between September 2021 and April 2022). Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) was performed in 44 patients (56 strictures, 9% anastomotic, 9% pouch) who underwent total 83 EBD procedures in 63 sessions. Short-term clinical efficacy after maximal dilation, technical success (i.e., scope passage after EBD), and complications (all mild) were noted in 95.4, 81.8, and 9.1%, respectively. Recurrent symptoms were seen in 27.3% on short-term follow-up (1–8 months, median: 5 months) for which redilation, surgery, and endoscopic stricturotomy were done in 22.7, 2.3, and 2.3% respectively. During small bowel EBD, motorized spiral enteroscopy-guided retained capsule endoscope retrieval was done in four patients. Ulcerative colitis-associated neoplasia (UCAN) was resected endoscopically in six patients (endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)—1, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)—5). High-grade dysplasia was resected in two patients (1 ESD for recurrent UCAN, 1 EMR had residual neoplasia on follow-up treated with underwater EMR). R0 resection was achieved in 83.3%. Endoscopic hemostasis was done with hemoclipping and sclerotherapy for UC-related bleeding in two, whereas a case of CD with proximal ileal bleeding was controlled with antegrade single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted hemoclipping.
Conclusions IIBD is a promising modality in resource-limited settings like India acting as a bridge between medical therapy and surgery. Surgery can be avoided in a significant proportion with good short-term outcomes. Long-term outcomes need to be evaluated.

Abstract
AbstractA comprehensive and detailed small bowel evaluation became possible since 2001 with the advent of a wireless capsule endoscope that was primarily used for diagnostic purposes. Simultaneously, the development of balloon-assisted enteroscope made detailed evaluation and therapy possible in the deeper small bowel. A novel motorized spiral enteroscope, introduced in 2015, is the most recent addition to the list of device-assisted enteroscopes. The rotational movements of the spiral overtube controlled by the integrated motor are transmitted into a linear force causing forward and backward propulsion of the scope in the bowel. There is emerging evidence about its safety and efficacy in the diagnosis and therapy of various small bowel diseases.
