“…In the case of OGIB, which is evaluated by various modalities, SBCE can be considered the best method for early diagnoses, good patient compliance, and potential savings. Obstruction, inability to perform tissue biopsy, and risk of perforation are not substantial limitations, which is an aspect to be considered for other pathologies, such as Crohn's disease and neoplasms [9][10][11].…”

“…Compared to the esophagus, stomach, and colon, the small bowel poses a challenge for endoscopic evaluation and therapy because of its length, angulated structure, and restricted equipment. Notably, SBCE, being wireless and minimally invasive, is the gold standard for the visualization of the small intestine [ 10 ]. In the case of OGIB, which is evaluated by various modalities, SBCE can be considered the best method for early diagnoses, good patient compliance, and potential savings.…”

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) refers to bleeding of uncertain origin that persists or recurs after negative workup using any of the radiologic evaluation modalities. It can be divided into two types based on whether clinically evident bleeding is present, namely, obscure overt and obscure occult bleeding. As the visualization of the bowel mucosa is challenging, capsule endoscopy (CE) is the ideal go-to procedure as the process is wireless, ingestible, small, disposable, and, most importantly, non-invasive. This review article has compiled various studies to shed light on the guidelines for using CE, its structure and procedure, patient preferences, diagnostic yield, cost-effectiveness, and the future. The goal of this review is to show the influence of CE on OGIB on the aspects mentioned earlier.

“…Mid-gut exploration is achieved with video-capsule endoscopy (VCE) and device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE), including motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE). 1 VCE and DAE are complementary procedures 2 ; whereas VCE can be used as first-step noninvasive diagnostic procedure, DAE requires deep sedation or general anesthesia, time, and expertise. 3 Despite previous studies proposing a time index based on VCE landmarks to guide the choice of route (anterograde vs retrograde), this decision can be challenging.…”
