Brief Summary in Lay Language
Patients have been diagnosed with small bowel disease. Using a recent endoscopy technique, it is possible to examine the entire small bowel and therefore confirm supposed diseases, take biopsies, or undertake therapeutical procedures. Double Balloon Endoscopy is a well-respected device for this endoscopy technique. Now, it is to be investigated whether Double Balloon Endoscopy or the new developed Spiral Endoscopy is the more efficient technique. From the positive results obtained so far it can be deduced that examination time is significantly shortend by Spiral Endoscopy. It is to be investigated whether a compareable penetration depth is achieved. Our goal is to investigate whether complete enteroscopies are achieved more often using DBE or SE.
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
Since the push-and-pull enteroscopy invention, the Double Balloon technique is well-respected and -used particularly throughout Germany. Ideally, an entire enteroscopy can be achieved, even though in most cases an oral and anal double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) has to be combined. Alternatively, the newly developed Spiral Endoscopy (SE) technique can be used. Apparently, the time necessary for investigating patients is shorter using spiral endoscopy. But, anal penetration depth is limited. Therefore we assume that using DBE more complete enteroscopies are achieved than by SE. This will be further investigated in our prospective, unicentric and randomized study. Our goal is to investigate, whether complete enteroscopies are achieved 12 times as frequent using DBE or SE. Secondary goals are to determine the time required for investigation as well as the time needed to reach the point with the maximum penetration depth and the diagnostic efficiency.
