Capsule Endoscopy: More than a Decade of Experience!

Since the introduction of capsule endoscopy (CE) in the year 2001, this endoscopic technology has firmly established itself as the procedure of choice in the evaluation of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and/or iron deficiency anemia, suspected Crohn's disease, and suspected small bowel polyps and tumors. Capsule endoscopy technology has subsequently expanded into evaluating the esophagus and the colon. This issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is devoted entirely to capsule endoscopy (CE) and details its clinical impact on pediatric and adult gastroenterology over the past fifteen years.
