[COLON CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY IN CLINICAL EXPERIENCE]

Abstract

Aim: Is to evaluate technical aspects and feasibility of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) in the daily clinical practice.

Materials and methods: From I.2014 to VIII.2014 we performed 36 (97.3%) CCE from 37 patients (m-19, f-17, mean age 43.9 ± 14.2 years, range 22-72).

Results: Total CCE was performed in 33 (89.2%) patients. In all patients we were able to register anatomy and to evaluate the lumen and the wall of large bowel; to explore and identify mucosal abnormality as well as epithelial lesions.

Conclusion: The article demonstrates our own experience of colon capsule endoscopy (n = 36); the principal possibilities to evaluate colon anatomy and to detect wide range of abnormality.
