Clinical comparison of single- versus double-balloon enteroscopy

Efficacy and Safety of Single-Balloon Versus Double-Balloon Enteroscopy: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

BACKGROUND Single-balloon endoscopy (SBE) has been introduced as a simplified endoscopy technique after the promotion of double-balloon endoscopy (DBE). The difference in clinical performance between DBE and SBE is still not very clear. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between these 2 endoscopic procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 173 patients with suspected sm...

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Single- versus Double-Balloon Enteroscopy Performed by Endoscopist Experts in Single-Balloon Enteroscopy: A Single-Center Experience and Meta-Analysis

Background/Aims Studies concerning the efficacy and safety of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) compared with that of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) often appear to be conflicting. However, previous studies were performed by endoscopists who were less experienced in SBE compared with DBE. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of SBE and DBE data performed by a single enteroscopist, w...

Does Single Balloon Enteroscopy Have Similar Efficacy and Endoscopic Performance Compared with Double Balloon Enteroscopy?

Double balloon enteroscopy: Bangladesh experience.

Double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a newly developed endoscopic modality for diagnosis and treatment of small bowel disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic impact of DBE in patient with suspected small bowel disease. This was a prospective study. Sixty one double balloon enteroscopy procedures (30 antegrade 31 retrograde) were done in thirty six patients...

ERCP using single-balloon instead of double-balloon enteroscopy in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.

necrosectomy and a Roux−en−Y anasto− mosis. Before surgery the patient had un− dergone an endoscopic retrograde chol− angiopancreatography (ERCP) with bili− ary stent placement, but this stent could not be removed intra−operatively. ERCP was carried out using the Fujinon dou− ble−balloon enteroscope (EN−450T5I, Fu− jinon, Saitama, Japan). For the ERCP we did not place a balloon on the tip of th...
