Description

Evaluation of the Small Bowel, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics, 1e (The Clinics: Internal Medicine) (PDF Book)

Written by Lauren B. Gerson MD MSc (Author)

Recent advances in endoscopic access to the small bowel have given rise to numerous improvements in medical technology. These advances include the introduction of video capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy in the early 2000s, as well as more recent improvements in imaging modalities involving computed tomography and magnetic resonance studies. As a result, the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) released new guidelines in 2015, changing the terminology from “obscure” to “small bowel” bleeding, as the majority of cases can now be pinpointed to this area. This improved technology enhances our ability to visualize vascular findings, inflammatory lesions, and small bowel neoplasms. This issue is dedicated to exploring and showcasing these advances.
