Double Balloon Enteroscopy
- Double balloon enteroscopy is a new method of examining the small intestine that previous techniques could not reach. Double balloon enteroscopy employs a high- resolution video endoscope with latex balloons attached at the tips that can be inflated and deflated with air from a pressure-controlled pump system.
- A sequence of inflation/deflation cycles allow the scope to be advanced further into the small intestine. This technique can be performed using either an oral or anal route.
- Indications for double balloon enteroscopy include obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease, unexplained diarrhea, but also pancreaticobiliary disease in patients with altered anatomy such as Roux-en-Y, access to the excluded stomach after bariatric surgery and incomplete colonoscopy.
