Procedure for Spiral Enteroscopy

1. Preparation: Administer sedation, position the patient, insert the endoscope, and advance slowly while inflating the intestine for optimal visualization.
2. Navigation: Maneuver the endoscope through the small bowel using torque, push, and pull techniques, aided by fluoroscopy or imaging.
3. Inspection: Methodically examine the mucosa, identifying lesions, bleeding, or abnormalities, and obtain biopsies or perform interventions as necessary.
4. Retrograde Examination: Gradually retract the endoscope, carefully inspecting the intestine for missed lesions or assessing for complications.
5. Completion: Remove the endoscope, monitor the patient for post-procedure complications, and provide follow-up care and instructions as needed.

Benefits of Spiral Enteroscopy

• Therapeutic Intervention: Enables biopsies, polypectomies, and hemostasis, reducing the need for surgery and improving patient outcomes.
• Extended Reach: Reaches deeper into the small bowel, surpassing limitations of conventional endoscopy, increasing diagnostic yield and therapeutic options.
• Reduced Procedure Time: Streamlined navigation through spiral advancement reduces procedural duration, enhancing patient comfort and efficiency.
• Minimized Complications: Decreased risk of perforation and trauma due to controlled advancement and visualization techniques, improving safety profile.
