Literature Survey on Capsule Endoscopy: Current Practice and Future Directions

Abstract

Video pill endoscopy (capsule endoscopy), since its creation thirteen years ago, has revolutionized our technique for small intestinal diseases. Difficult-to-understand gastrointestinal bleeding (obscure gastrointestinal bleeding) is still the most essential indication for CE, with high sensitivity, specificity, and advantageous and negative predictive values. It's excellently executed for the duration of ongoing bleeding or right away after that. Overtly obscure gastrointestinal bleeding has a higher diagnostic yield than occult obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. However, even in iron deficiency anemia, capsule endoscopy is rising as crucial research after a preliminary poor workup. In suspected Crohn’s disease (CD), capsule endoscopy has been proven to be advanced to standard imaging and an endoscopic approach and has to be taken into consideration after a negative ileocolonoscopic. Although capsule endoscopy has additionally been used for comparing installed CDs, a high capsule retention charge precludes its use before pass-sectional imaging. A celiac ailment, especially where gastro-duodenoscopy can't be done or is regular, can also be investigated using capsule endoscopy. Small bowel tumors, hereditary polypus syndrome, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory tablets that cause intestinal harm are other warning signs for capsule endoscopy. Capsule retention is the simplest and most devastating negative final result of capsule endoscopy and occurs generally in the presence of intestinal obstruction. This could be avoided by the use of a Patency pill before the capsule endoscopy exam. The presence of cardiac pacemakers and intra-cardiac gadgets continues to be relative contraindications for capsule endoscopy, though records do not recommend interference of capsule endoscopy with these devices. The principal barriers to capsule endoscopy these days consist of failure to control its motion from outdoors, a lack of ability of capsule endoscopy to accumulate tissue for analysis, and the absence of healing help. With ongoing thrilling and thrilling traits taking place in those regions, those issues could be solved at all times. Capsule endoscopy can emerge as one of the most essential pieces of equipment in the diagnostic and, in all likelihood, healing fields of gastrointestinal disease.
