Abstract
The introduction in clinical practice of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) represented, not only for doctors specifically dealing with diseases of the small intestine, an epochal diagnostic progression. Since 2001, the year of its first clinical use, numerous scientific studies have shown its utility as a non-invasive technique for the diagnosis of small-bowel disorders. The term “capsule endoscopy” return more than 4,000 items in PubMed, but the most robust scientific evidence for the use of the SBCE is for patients with suspected small bowel bleeding, Crohn's disease and small bowel neoplasms. New diagnostic algorithms for diagnosing these disorders have been developed.
