Study of Esophageal and Gastric Diseases With Robotically Controlled Magnetic Capsule Endoscopy
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) is an outstanding opportunity for the painless endoscopic screening of the esophagus and stomach before small bowel examiantion. Further improvement in patients positioning might increase the esophageal transit time of the capsule endoscope and could improve the sensitivity and specificity of the esophageal MCCE investigation. Our present study aimed to compare the visualization of the esophagus (especially the Z-line) with different capsule swallowing protocols.

Treatments
Capsule endoscopy patients
Patients swallowed the capsules in left lateral position, leaning on their left forearms and elbows, while we were positioning the magnet tightly against their backs. With the magnetic field vector X,Y,Z axis 180, -90 and 90, respectively. After swallowing the capsules with a small amount of water, they remained in this left lateral decubitus position.
