Abstract
The introduction of device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) in the beginning of the 21st century has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the small intestine. In contrast to capsule endoscopy, the other main diagnostic modality of small bowel diseases, DAE has the unique advantages of allowing the observation of the region of interest in detail and enabling tissue acquisition and therapeutic intervention. As DAE becomes an essential procedure in daily clinical practice, there is an increasing need for correct guidelines on when and how it is to be performed and what technical factors should be taken into consideration. In response to these needs, the Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases has developed an expert consensus statement on the performance of DAE by reviewing current evidence. This expert consensus statement particularly focuses on the indications, choice of insertion route, therapeutic intervention, complications, and relevant technical points.

Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech 2022; 32:637-642. [PMID: 36375110 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is a safe and effective modality for the diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of small bowel disorders. However, the efficacy and safety of treating small bowel submucosal tumors (SMTs) with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) during SBE have not been determined. Hence, the primary aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the therapeutic yield of SBE in patients with SMTs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients with SMTs were enrolled in this study. Regarding the sex distribution, there were 12 men (57.1%) and 9 women (42.9%). Regarding the age distribution, 42.9% of the patients were 60 years old or older and 57.1% of the patients were under 60 years old. The preoperative characteristics of SMTs were summarized and analyzed, the complete resection incidence of SMTs was determined, and the incidence of postoperative complications was collected. ESD-related and EFTR-related complications and the duration of follow-up after leaving hospital were also summarized and analyzed. The efficacy and safety of SMTs treated by ESD or EFTR during SBE were calculated as percentages. RESULTS Among the 21 patients, 10 (47.6%) underwent EFTR and 11 (52.4%) underwent ESD. The mean diameter of SMTs was 113.50 mm (range: 80 to 160 mm). Anterograde and retrograde SBE were conducted in 11 and 10 patients, respectively. The mean follow-up time was 49.3 days (range: 6.0 to 129 d). The complete resection rate of SMTs was 100%. The complete suture rate of SMTs wound was 100%. The SMTs pathology of all patients showed that the margin-negative (R0) resection was 100%. The incidence of physical discomfort complications (ie, infection/fever, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension) of ESD and EFTR was 5 (23.8%) on day 1, 1 (4.8%) on day 2, and 1 (4.8%) on day 3 after operation. Only 1 (4.8%) patient with EFTR had abdominal pain on the sixth day after leaving hospital, and the visual analog scale/score was 1 point, meaning the pain was easily tolerated by the patient. Twenty (95.2%) patients had no abdominal discomfort after leaving hospital. No patients needed additional surgery because of complications after ESD or EFTR during SBE. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study showed that SMTs can be safely and effectively treated by ESD or EFTR during SBE, particularly SMTs <160 mm in diameter.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the geriatric (age > 65 years) population and presents a unique management challenge in the context of multiple medical comorbidities, polypharmacy, and increased risk of adverse outcomes and is confounded by an increased prevalence of obscure GI bleeds. A review of relevant guidelines, literature, and personal observations will enhance management strategies in the elderly. RECENT FINDINGS Non-variceal bleeding represents a significant proportion of upper GI bleeding (UGIB) in geriatric patients. Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains the most common cause in geriatric patients hospitalized for UGIB, but its incidence is decreasing. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is the gold standard for treating UGIB in geriatrics with a therapeutic yield of approximately 75%. Scoring systems such as Glasgow-Blatchford (GBS) and AIMS-65 may be useful for risk stratification but are not validated in trials. Obscure bleeds account for up to 30% of hospitalizations and must be considered during triage and management. Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) technology is efficacious for detecting obscure jejunal bleeding after failed EGD and may enhance the yield of balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE). The most significant factor for the increased morbidity and mortality in the geriatric population is the presence of multiple medical comorbidities and polypharmacy. An EGD should be done within 24 h of hospital presentation. If non-diagnostic, VCE may be a viable option for diagnosing an obscure small-bowel bleed, representing up to 30% of GI bleeds in this population.

Abstract
Background/Aims Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) has been widely used in diagnosing small bowel disease. We conducted this study to systematically appraise its technical and clinical performance. Methods Studies on SBE published by September 2018 were systematically searched. Technical and clinical performance data were collected and analyzed with descriptive or meta-analysis methods. Results In total, 54 articles incorporating 4,592 patients (6,036 procedures) were included. Regarding technical parameters, the pooled insertion depths (IDs) for anterograde and retrograde SBE were 209.2 cm and 98.1 cm, respectively. The pooled retrograde ID in Asian countries was significantly greater than that in Western countries (129.0 cm vs 81.1 cm, p<0.001). The pooled anterograde and retrograde procedure times were 57.6 minutes and 65.1 minutes, respectively. The total enteroscopy rate was 21.9%, with no significant difference between Asian and Western countries. Clinically, the pooled diagnostic yield of SBE was 62.3%. Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) was the most common indication (50.0%), with a diagnostic yield of 59.5%. Vascular lesions were the most common findings in Western OGIB patients (76.9%) but not in Asian ones (31.0%). The rates of severe and mild adverse events were 0.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Conclusions SBE is technically efficient and is clinically effective and safe, but total enteroscopy is relatively difficult to achieve with this technique. Etiologies of OGIB in Asian countries differ from those in Western countries.

Device assisted enteroscopy in the elderly - A systematic review and meta-analysis. Dig Liver Dis 2019; 51:1249-1256. [PMID: 31036473 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2019.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2018] [Revised: 03/19/2019] [Accepted: 04/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Device assisted enteroscopy (DAE) is increasingly being carried out in elderly patients. This provides a challenge due to the underlying varied physiology and comorbidities these patients have. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search for studies on elderly patients undergoing DAE. We calculated the pooled diagnostic (DY) and therapeutic yields (TY), major adverse events, length of small bowel examined and sedation administered. These were also compared to younger patients. RESULTS Fourteen high quality articles on DAE in the elderly were included in this analysis (3289 total, 1712 elderly) patients. Nine of these studies were included in the final meta-analysis (681 elderly, 1577 young patients). The overall DY of DAE, double balloon enterosocpy (DBE) and single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) were 0.68 (p = 0.000001), 1.74 (p = 0.0001) and 1.90 (p = 0.009). The TY of DAE, DBE and SBE were 0.45 (p = 0.00001), 2.20 (p = 0.00001) and 2.36 (p = 0.00001). On comparison of elderly and young patients, DY (1.83; 95% CI: 1.49, 2.24; p = 0.00001) and TY (2.28; 95% CI: 1.79, 2.89) were better in elderly patients. There was no difference in adverse events in both groups (2.16; 95% CI: 0.82, 5.69, p = 0.12). Elderly patients were given less sedation than younger patients during DAE. CONCLUSIONS DAE has a higher DY and TY in the elderly than younger patients. DAE can be safely carried out in the elderly with less sedation.

Abstract
Background As human longevity continues to increase, age-related diseases are more common, which leads to a higher use of gastroenterology services. Endoscopic procedures are generally considered to be of higher risk in the elderly with multiple comorbidities. However, some endoscopic techniques have already been proved to be well tolerated in the elderly. Summary <underline></underline>Enteroscopy enables the nonsurgical diagnosis and therapeutic management of a wide variety of small bowel diseases. Although it has been shown to be safe and effective, with high diagnostic yield and therapeutic success rate in the general population, its safety and efficacy in the elderly is largely unknown, and there are still some concerns about its use in these patients. Key Messages This review will focus on enteroscopy in elderly people, taking into account patient and procedure characteristics, indications, findings, yield, and complication rate.
