Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We aim to review the types of device-assisted deep enteroscopy endoscopes, tips for a successful procedure as well as areas for improvement. RECENT FINDINGS Deep enteroscopy allows for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention of the small bowel and can be used as an adjunct to video capsule endoscopy to improve the yield and management of small bowel lesions. SUMMARY Our top tips for deep enteroscopy success include reviewing patient history and prior imaging, utilizing CO 2 insufflation or water exchange, verifying quality measures and emphasizing ergonomics. With these, endoscopists can optimize patient outcomes while minimizing occupational risks. New aspects of deep enteroscopy equipment focus on high-resolution imaging, a larger working channel, and enhanced scope angulation. Proposed improvements include developing innovative technology to optimize the color and clarity of the high-resolution imaging, minimizing the number of staff required for the procedure, and decreasing ergonomic strain.

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.

Abstract
MR1: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy as the first-line examination, before consideration of other endoscopic and radiological diagnostic tests for suspected small-bowel bleeding, given the excellent safety profile of capsule endoscopy, its patient tolerability, and its potential to visualize the entire small-bowel mucosa.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR2: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy in patients with overt suspected small-bowel bleeding as soon as possible after the bleeding episode, ideally within 48 hours, to maximize the diagnostic and subsequent therapeutic yield.Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. MR3: ESGE does not recommend routine second-look endoscopy prior to small-bowel capsule endoscopy in patients with suspected small-bowel bleeding or iron-deficiency anemia.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence. MR4: ESGE recommends conservative management in those patients with suspected small-bowel bleeding and high quality negative small-bowel capsule endoscopy.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR5: ESGE recommends device-assisted enteroscopy to confirm and possibly treat lesions identified by small-bowel capsule endoscopy.Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. MR6: ESGE recommends the performance of small-bowel capsule endoscopy as a first-line examination in patients with iron-deficiency anemia when small bowel evaluation is indicated.Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. MR7: ESGE recommends small-bowel capsule endoscopy in patients with suspected Crohn's disease and negative ileocolonoscopy findings as the initial diagnostic modality for investigating the small bowel, in the absence of obstructive symptoms or known bowel stenosis.Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. MR8: ESGE recommends, in patients with unremarkable or nondiagnostic findings from dedicated small-bowel cross-sectional imaging, small-bowel capsule endoscopy as a subsequent investigation if deemed likely to influence patient management.Strong recommendation, low quality evidence. MR9: ESGE recommends, in patients with established Crohn's disease, the use of a patency capsule before small-bowel capsule endoscopy to decrease the capsule retention rate.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR10: ESGE recommends device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) as an alternative to surgery for foreign bodies retained in the small bowel requiring retrieval in patients without acute intestinal obstruction.Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. MR11: ESGE recommends DAE-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (DAE-ERCP) as a first-line endoscopic approach to treat pancreaticobiliary diseases in patients with surgically altered anatomy (except for Billroth II patients).Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence.

Abstract
Background Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is an uncommon intestinal polyposis disorder. Bowel obstructions are a recurring problem in PJS and as many as 50% of these patients require surgery. The current standard of care for these patients is to perform a flexible enteroscopic polypectomy. The traditional push-pull enteroscopy however, might be unavailable or unsuitable in an emergency setting. Alternatively, repeated laparotomies with multiple small bowel resections can lead to short bowel syndrome. Methods In our series, we describe an innovative technique where a short midline laparotomy permitted sufficient access to reduce the intussusception(s) and perform a bowel walk. Rigid laparoscopic instruments were introduced within the small bowel lumen via enterotomies, to perform polypectomies along the entire small bowel length. This precludes the need for small bowel resections which can thwart the development of short bowel syndrome. Results Two patients with PJS presenting with acute small bowel obstruction underwent surgery using the described approach. Another two patients with PJS having multiple intussusceptions on CT underwent an elective prophylactic polypectomy using the same approach. We were able to run the bowel in its entirety and a maximum of 41 polyps were retrieved from the port site enterotomy. The operating times were modest and no unique complications pertaining to this technique were encountered. Conclusion Small bowel polypectomy using rigid instrumentation employing a limited midline laparotomy is an attractive option for both emergency and elective settings in patients with PJS. Bowel obstructions are a recurring problem in PJS. Polypectomy using rigid instrumentation serves as an attractive option for patients with PJS, undergoing a laparotomy for acute bowel obstruction. This technique can be empolyed in both, elective as well as emergency settings.

Ileocolic intussusception caused by mass-forming fibro-granulation from healed ulcer masquerading as small bowel lipoma. Clin J Gastroenterol 2021; 14:522-530.

Abstract
Small bowel intussusception in adults is rare. Unlike children, adults with intussusception generally have a causative lead point, of which a majority is benign. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus on steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs who presented with intermittent melena. Contrast computed tomography revealed intussusception of the terminal ileum, with a low density mass which had advanced into the cecum as the lead point. The patient was diagnosed with ileocolic intussusception. The mass was observed in the terminal ileum on colonoscopy, indicating spontaneous reduction. As endoscopic treatment did not appear feasible, laparoscopic small bowel resection was performed with no complications. The resected specimen revealed a pedunculated mass over a healed ulcer. Pathology showed a deep ulcer reaching the subserosa with fibro-granulation, with no evidence of mesenteric vasculitis, thrombus, bacteria, fungi, granulomas, lipoma, or other tumors. The patient was diagnosed with ileocolic intussusception due to a fibro-granulation mass formed on a healed ulcer. Based on the patient's systemic lupus erythematosus being well controlled, the absence of other causative factors, and the discovery of several small bowel erosions on subsequent capsule endoscopy, the ulcer was strongly suspected to be drug induced. Both steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were reduced and proton pump inhibitors were discontinued by her rheumatologist after surgery. No recurrence has been observed during 4 months of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of small bowel neoplasia (SBN) screening in asymptomatic patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) is uncertain. The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness of screening by capsule endoscopy (CE) in these patients. METHODS This study was an observational, analytical, and retrospective single-center study within the PRED-IdF network. All consecutive asymptomatic patients older than 35 years-old with confirmed LS and no personal history of SBN who started the screening from 2010-2015 were included. The baseline screening and 24 months follow-up were performed by CE. The CE diagnostic yield (positive tumor or polyp) and accuracy, using the follow-up as gold standard, were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 150 patients underwent the SBN screening program and 135 (52.7 ± 11.2 years-old, 37.8% male) met the inclusion criteria. The baseline CE diagnostic yield was 4.4% (3 polyps, 3 tumors) and the proximal small bowel was the most common location (n = 4, 66.7%). In total, 87 patients underwent follow-up and the diagnostic yield was 4.6%.Four patients were considered positive at follow-up (2 adenomas, 2 adenocarcinomas). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of CE were 60%, 100%, 100%, 96.9%, and 97%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CE is an accurate procedure for baseline screening of SBN in LS patients and may be efficient for follow-up procedures. However, the optimal starting age of screening and intervals of follow-up must be clarified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enteroscopy resection of small bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome has only been described in small case series. Herein, we aimed to assess the efficacy of enteroscopy resection of small bowel polyps within a specialised tertiary care centre and the impact on intraoperative enteroscopy. METHODS This was an observational single-centre study. All adult Peutz-Jeghers syndrome patients followed in the Predisposition Digestive Ile-de-France network who underwent an endoscopic resection of at least one small bowel polyp ≥ 1 cm by enteroscopy between 2002-2015 were included. Small bowel polyps were detected under a dedicated screening programme by previous capsule endoscopy and/or magnetic resonance enterography, performed every 2-3 years. Complete treatment was defined as the absence of polyps ≥ 1 cm after conventional endoscopic resection. Intraoperative enteroscopy or surgical resection were indicated in incomplete treatments. The overall complete treatment rate including conventional enteroscopy and intraoperative enteroscopy was also considered. RESULTS Endoscopic resection of 216 small bowel polyps (median: 8.6 per patient, size: 6-60 mm) was performed by 50 enteroscopies in 25 patients (mean age: 36 years, range: 18-71, 56% male) with small bowel polyp ≥ 1 cm. Twenty-three patients (92%) underwent 42 screening capsule endoscopies and 14 (57%) had 23 magnetic resonance enterographies during a median follow-up of 60 months. Complete treatment was achieved in 76%. Intraoperative enteroscopy and surgical resection were performed in four (16%) and two (8%) patients. Intraoperative enteroscopy improved by 16% the complete treatment rate and the overall rate was 92%. The complication rate was 6%. CONCLUSION This long-term study confirmed the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection of small bowel polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. Intraoperative enteroscopy can be a complementary approach in selected cases.

Abstract
After more than 15 years since its introduction into clinical practice, indications for device-assisted enteroscopy have greatly expanded. Alongside the consolidated indications such as the diagnosis and treatment of small bowel bleeding, Crohn's disease, hereditary polyposis, small-bowel tumors and complicated celiac disease, device-assisted enteroscopy is nowadays largely used to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with altered anatomy, stent placement, retrieval of foreign bodies, direct insertion of jejunal feeding tubes, and in selected cases of incomplete colonoscopy. This has been made possible by the technical improvements of the enteroscopes and accessories and by the widespread use of the method. Device-assisted enteroscopy endotherapy currently offers a safe and effective alternative to major surgery and often represents the preferred option for treatment of small-bowel pathology. Its safety profile is favourable even in the elderly patient, provided that it is performed in high-volume and experienced centers. The evolution of the enteroscopy technique is a challenge for the future and could be facilitated by the new enteroscopes models. These prototypes need a thorough clinical and safety assessment especially for the complex therapeutic procedures. Large prospective, multicenter studies should be performed to assess whether the use of device-assisted enteroscopy leads to improved patients' long-term outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Device-assisted enteroscopy is a new endoscopic technique for the evaluation of small bowel in adults and children. Data in pediatric population are limited. This review aims to identify diagnostic and therapeutic benefits of enteroscopy in children. METHODS We have analysed paediatric literature on device-assisted enteroscopy focusing on indications, technical aspects and complications, with attention given to adult publications that may be applicable to the paediatric population. RESULTS Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease and small bowel polyps are the main indications of enteroscopy in children. Device-assisted enteroscopy has high diagnostic yield for the main paediatric indications, but MR-enterography and capsule endoscopy should be used beforehand in diagnostic work-up to better identify candidates for enteroscopy and to improve its diagnostic and therapeutic yield. Major complications are rare and mostly related to therapeutic procedures. CONCLUSION Despite limited data in the paediatric population, device-assisted enteroscopy represents a useful and safe endoscopic technique in children. Its use, combined with MR-enterography and capsule endoscopy, allows identification and treatment of many of the small bowel paediatric diseases with a low risk of complications.

Efficacy of double-balloon enteroscopy for small-bowel polypectomy: clinical and economic evaluation. Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2017; 10:465-472. [PMID: 28567116 PMCID: PMC5424870 DOI: 10.1177/1756283x17696232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2016] [Accepted: 01/23/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated first the feasibility of endoscopic small-bowel polypectomy and second, the economic aspects, by comparing the cost of endoscopic and surgical polyp resection. METHODS A prospective, observational, multicenter study included 494 patients with positive capsule endoscopy (CE) before double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). We selected only CE with at least one polyp. The retrospective economic evaluation compared patients treated by DBE or surgery for small-bowel polypectomy. Hospital readmission because of repeat polyp resection or complication-related interventions was noted. The 1-year cost was estimated from the viewpoint of the healthcare system and included procedures, hospital admissions and follow up. RESULTS CE indicated one or more polyps in 62 (12.5%) patients (32 males, 49 ± 5 years), all of whom underwent a successful DBE exploration. The DBE polyp diagnostic yield was 58%. There were no major complications. A total of 26 (42%) patients in the DBE group and 19 (39%) in the control group required hospital readmission. All readmissions in the DBE group were for repeat procedures to remove all polyps, and in the control group, for surgical complications. The total cost of the initial hospitalization (€4014 ± 2239 DBE versus €11,620 ± 7183 surgery, p < 0.0001) and the 1-year total cost (€8438 ± 9227 DBE versus €13,402 ± 7919 surgery, p < 0.0001) were lower in the DBE group. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic polypectomy was efficient and safe. The total cost at 1 year was less for endoscopy than surgery. DBE should be proposed as the first-line treatment for small-bowel polyp resection.

Abstract
Small bowel tumors (SBTs) are uncommon, insidious in presentation, and frequently represent a diagnostic challenge. The advent of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) and double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) is a significant breakthrough for visual diagnosis of SBTs throughout the small bowel. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and fluoroscopic enteroclysis had significantly lower diagnostic yields of tumors that were 10 mm or smaller in diameter, but VCE and DBE had high diagnostic yields regardless of tumor size. Regarding SBTs larger than 10 mm in diameter, CECT had a significantly lower diagnostic yield of epithelial tumors compared to subepithelial tumors, whereas fluoroscopic enteroclysis and DBE had high diagnostic yields regardless of the tumor type. VCE had a slightly lower diagnostic yield of subepithelial tumors (78%) compared to epithelial tumors. Therefore, a combined examination method by using CECT and VCE is useful for screening of SBTs. In case suspicious of stenosis, patency capsule should be performed to confirm passage before VCE. DBE is useful for further precise examination including biopsy and ultrasonography by using miniature probe, and enteroscopic treatment. After medical, enteroscopic, and surgical treatment, VCE is helpful for follow-up. DBE is safe and useful in resecting the SBTs deep within the small bowel without laparotomy. Indications of enteroscopic resection may be benign tumors regardless of epithelial or subepithelial type, localizing in the mucosal or submucosal layer, which are symptomatic at present or possibly symptomatic or transforming in the future. Malignant tumors localized in the mucosal layer may be indications although detecting at an early stage is challenging. In this review article, we describe management of SBTs/polyps by various modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although there is substantial literature addressing double-balloon enteroscopy, evidence is more limited with regard to the clinical utility of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) in evaluating and treating small-bowel diseases. We sought to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic yield of SBE in patients with suspected small-bowel disorders, as well as the impact of preceding capsule endoscopy (CE) on these outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database at a tertiary-care academic medical center between 2011 and 2013 for all patients referred for SBE. RESULTS A total of 150 patients underwent 170 SBE procedures during the study period. The most frequent indications for SBE included anemia, overt or occult gastrointestinal bleeding, and suspected mass. CE was performed prior to SBE in 113 of 150 patients (75%). The overall diagnostic yield for small-bowel disease by CE was 62%. Therapeutic interventions included hemostasis, polypectomy, and foreign body removal. Total diagnostic and therapeutic yield of SBE was 60 and 28%, respectively. The diagnostic yield of SBE with prior CE was 68 versus 44% for SBE without prior CE (P = 0.002). The therapeutic yield of SBE with prior CE was 35 versus 12% without prior CE (P = 0.001). One endoscopic complication was observed out of 170 procedures, and there were no deaths. CONCLUSIONS SBE appears to be a safe and effective technique for the diagnosis and treatment of small-bowel disease; however, we recommend performing a CE prior to SBE to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic yield of the procedure.

Abstract
AIM: To compare the diagnostic value of double balloon enteroscopy versus capsule endoscopy in obscure gastrointestinal bleeding to help choose the optimal diagnostic strategy for this clinical condition.
METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Medline, Vip database, Wanfang database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database (CNKI) and Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM) of randomized controlled clinical trial using double balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy for the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding dating from January 2003 to January 2013. Data of included studies were extracted and their quality evaluated independently by two reviewers. RevMan5 software was used for Meta-analysis.
RESULTS: Based on inclusion criteria, 13 prospective randomized controlled clinical studies were included in this study. Meta-analysis showed no significant difference in the diagnostic rate between double balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Subgroup analysis showed that the diagnostic rate had no significant difference between enteroscopy in patients with positive results in previous capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy in unselected patients.
CONCLUSION: Double balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy have similar diagnostic results in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, and enteroscopy after capsule endoscopy can not improve the diagnostic rate.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value and safety of double balloon endoscopy (DBE) in small intestinal diseases.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 123 patients who underwent DBE under conscious sedation anesthesia with suspected small intestinal diseases from January 2009 to February 2013 was performed. Oral and anal DBE was performed in 52 and 55 patients, respectively, while 16 patients underwent a combination of both approaches. Endoscopic tissue biopsy of suspicious lesions was performed routinely.
RESULTS: The overall diagnostic yield of DBE was 75.6% (93/123), with nonspecific intestinal inflammations in 37 patients and Crohn's diseases in 17 patients. There were benign or malignant tumors in 13 patients, including small intestine adenocarcinoma in 5 patients, stromal tumors and lymphomas in 3, lipomas in 2, and polyps in 11 (including inflammatory polyps in 8 and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in 3), vascular diseases in 6 (including vascular malformations in 4 and angiotelectasia in 2), ulcers in 4 and other lesions in 5 (including lymphangiectasia, small intestinal diverticulum, Behcet's disease, entericintussusception and portal hypertensive enteropathy). In addition, there were three cases of external compressive lesions. The overall therapeutic yield of DBE was 9.8% (12/123), including endoscopic snare and electric coagulation or cutting in all polyps and clipping (with a titanium clip) in one case of vascular malformation with active bleeding. There were no severe complications such as bleeding, perforation, and pancreatitis.
CONCLUSION: DBE is a method with high diagnostic value, safety and reliability for small intestinal diseases, and can be used for endoscopic treatment.
