PowerSpiral Enteroscopy: Multicenter Prospective Study on Performance and Safety Including Patients With Altered Gastrointestinal Anatomy

Multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy of the motorized spiral enteroscope in the management of small bowel diseases.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Background and Aims:

Motorized Spiral enteroscopy is a recent advancement in enteroscopy. Data are scarce on the utility and safety of the motorized spiral enteroscopy. No data is available on the utility of this technique in patients with altered gastrointestinal (GI) anatomy.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of motorized spiral enteroscopy including rate of total enteroscopy (TER) in patients undergoing enteroscopy for suspected small bowel disease including those with altered GI anatomy.

Methods: A multicenter prospective study evaluated consecutive patients with symptomatic small bowel disease who underwent enteroscopy over a 12-month period.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Motorized Spiral Enteroscopy

Procedure: Motorized Spiral Enteroscopy:

PowerSpiral enteroscope will be inserted and advanced with the assistance of motorized spiral rotation, After reaching the point of maximum insertion, cecum or if no further advancement of the enteroscope can be achieved, the enteroscope will be withdrawn using motorized counter-clockwise spiral rotation. When no total enteroscopy is reached, submucosal ink dye injection is performed as an endoscopically visible marker of the maximum insertion depth. A retrograde enteroscopy is then performed in the same session or at second session

Small-bowel enteroscopy for diagnosis and intervention
