“…2, 10, 11, 13-15 The sensitivity of radiographic studies, SBFT and EN, was dependent upon the type of lesion. 7,8,16,17 We estimated that EN identified 40% of ulcers and neoplasias, but was not able to identify flat mucosal lesions i.e. vascular ectasias.…”

“…In patients with undetermined colitis the use of CE changed the diagnosis into Crohn's disease in 50% of patients (5/10) [9] . Costamagna et al compared CE and small bowel radiographs in patients with any suspected small bowel disease, another indication for CE [10] . CE was diagnostic in 45% patients, and suspicious in another 40% patients, while X-ray was diagnostic in only 20% patients.…”

“…3,4 Contraindications for the use of the video capsule have included patients with suspected or documented intestinal obstructions or strictures. 9 Prior intestinal surgery has been a relative contraindication, and a barium study prior to VCE has been recommended in these patients. 2 Kornbluth et al found an 8% incidence of patients with unpassed capsules requiring surgery, despite a normal small-bowel follow-through preceding capsule ingestion in patients with known Crohn's disease.…”

"Use of video capsule endoscopy in the setting of recurrent subacute small-bowel obstruction." Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques.18,5. 713-716. (2008 AbstractHypothesis: Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) can be used to diagnose subacute intestinal obstruction in patients with otherwise negative imaging studies. Patients and Methods: Nine patients with symptoms consistent with intermittent small-bowel obstruction who received a VCE and ultimately required surgical intervention. Results: Patients were identified who had symptoms consistent with subacute bowel obstruction and a negative diagnostic work-up prior to VCE. All 9 patients underwent several radiologic and endoscopic examinations with no clear etiology for their symptoms. Ultimately, in every case, a stricture or mass was found to be the cause of the obstruction at either the time of VCE or exploratory laparotomy/laparoscopy. Conclusions: Patients can have a small-bowel stricture or mass that can cause symptoms of subacute smallbowel obstruction. Diagnosis of the lesion may be difficult in these patients and can often result in multiple nondiagnostic radiologic and endoscopic examinations. VCE can be helpful in finding these lesions, leading to surgical resection of the diseased bowel and a cure for the patient's signs and symptoms. 713
