1 ASAD ULLAH ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER DOUBLE BALLOON ENTEROSCOPE v Double balloon enteroscope was developed by Dr. Hironori Yamamoto in Japan. In 2001, he first reported the use of this scope in examining the entire small bowel. SMALL BOWEL IMAGING ROPEWAY METHOD v The world s first successful total enteroscopy was performed by Dr. Hideo Hiratsuka in v A long intestinal teflon string is inserted orally and discharged for the anus.this may require at least 24 hours. The ropeway enteroscope is pulled through the GI tract within 10 minutes. Observation and biopsy through the scope is possible. 1

2 SMALL BOWEL IMAGING SONDE METHOD v This method was developed by Tada et al at around the same time v It involves trans-nasal insertion of a thin and long endoscope which is advanced by peristalsis. v The total procedure time is 3-8 hours. v For the next 30 years the standard was to examine the small bowel with push enteroscopy using a long enteroscope. With this scope one can reach about 50 cm from the ligament of Treitz into the jejunum. The rest of the small bowel was examined by radiologic imaging such as SBFT, enterocolysis, and CT scan. SMALL BOWEL IMAGING Recently new methods have been developed to examine the entire small bowel. v Capsule enteroscopy v Double balloon enteroscopy v Single balloon enteroscopy v Spirus enteroscopy SMALL BOWEL IMAGING CAPSULE ENTEROSCOPY v Examine the entire small intestine v Out patient procedure v Better diagnostic yield than enterocolysis and push enteroscopy v No discomfort to the patient v No sedation 2

3 v Dr. Yamamoto developed DBE and first reported in 2001 completed examination of the small bowel by using this scope. He was able to advance the scope orally beyond the ileocecal valve.
