“…In addition, patients and caregivers should be aware that retained devices are considered a contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging due to the risk of migration of the capsule and/or potential for bowel injury or perforation (101). If retention is suspected an abdominal film should be obtained after 1 to 2 weeks as the capsule may be retained for years before the development of symptoms (93). Emergent surgical removal is warranted in the context of acute obstruction.…”

“…Although most patients who experience capsule retention remain asymptomatic, CE can lead to bowel obstruction and onset may be quite delayed (93). In a study of 2300 adult patients, obstructive symptoms occurred in 19.4% patients (6 of 31 patients with retained capsules) and there was 1 with complications reported after acute surgical CE retrieval (80).…”

Wireless capsule endoscopy (CE) was introduced in 2000 as a less invasive method to visualize the distal small bowel in adults. Because this technology has advanced it has been adapted for use in pediatric gastroenterology. Several studies have described its clinical use, utility, and various training methods but pediatric literature regarding CE is limited. This clinical report developed by the Endoscopic and Procedures Committee of the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition outlines the current literature, and describes the recommended current role, use, training, and future areas of research for CE in pediatrics.
