Abstract
In the preceding chapters, we have reviewed the clinical applications and important impact that small bowel capsule endoscopy has had in revolutionizing visualization of the small bowel mucosa. This has allowed for refinement of treatment algorithms, earlier therapeutic interventions in the treatment of small bowel diseases, as well as reclassification of disease and decreased morbidity and mortality. While small bowel capsule endoscopy has established a clear benefit in the treatment and evaluation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel disease, refractory malabsorption and diarrheal illness, and surveillance in polyposis syndromes, newer devices and technologies are poised to catapult capsule endoscopy technology to the next level. This will allow for even more patients to reap the benefits of this technology. The chapter will discuss new capsule technologies, including the newly FDA-approved colon capsule.
