Esophageal and Gastric Diseases With Robotically Controlled Magnetic Capsule Endoscopy

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Video Capsule Endoscopy, Esophageal Diseases

In brief

Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) is an outstanding opportunity for the painless endoscopic screening of the esophagus and stomach before small bowel examiantion. Further improvement in patients positioning might increase the esophageal transit time of the capsule endoscope and could improve the sensitivity and specificity of the esophageal MCCE investigation. Our present study aimed to compare the visualization of the esophagus (especially the Z-line) with different capsule swallowing protocols.
