- Abstract
The article discusses the study conducted by the authors, comparing capsule endoscopy (CE) and double balloon endoscopy (DBE) for the diagnosis of submucosal tumor (SMT) of the small bowel. It states that a SMT missed by CE was located in the proximal jejunum, where rapid capsule transit, bile and deep villi are known to interfere with CE observation.
