- Abstract
A comprehensive and detailed small bowel evaluation became possible since 2001 with the advent of a wireless capsule endoscope that was primarily used for diagnostic purposes. Simultaneously, the development of balloon-assisted enteroscope made detailed evaluation and therapy possible in the deeper small bowel. A novel motorized spiral enteroscope, introduced in 2015, is the most recent addition to the list of device-assisted enteroscopes. The rotational movements of the spiral overtube controlled by the integrated motor are transmitted into a linear force causing forward and backward propulsion of the scope in the bowel. There is emerging evidence about its safety and efficacy in the diagnosis and therapy of various small bowel diseases.
