Abstract

Aim: Characteristics and safety of single balloon enteroscopy (SBE) in patients with suspected in small bowel bleeding. Patient and methods: There were 89 patients with suspected in small bowel bleeding in the study. Before performing SBE, all patients underwent upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy, but no lesions were detected. Follow-up parameters: endoscopic path, length of endoscopic small intestine, endoscopic time and complications. Results: The percentages of oral, anal and both routes were 35.9%, 14.6% and 49.5%, respectively. Mean time (minutes) by oral, anal and both routes were 95.31 ± 40.42; 51.92 ± 29.69 and 161.70 ± 16.46, respectively. The mean length (meters) of the small intestine through endoscopic oral, anal and both routes were 2.49 ± 0.94; 1.32 ± 0.74 and 2.94 ± 1.26, respectively. The common complication after SBE is mild acute pancreatitis: 3/89 patients (3.4%). Conclusion: Single-balloon endoscopy is a safe technique in the diagnosis of patients with suspected small bowel bleeding.
