Abstract

The development and improvements in endoscopic devices and technique has made it for us to diagnose and treat diseases of the esophagus, stomach, colon, and the parts of the small intestine. However, the small intestine extending from the third part of the duodenum to the ileum has been considered the part where the use of an endoscopic approach is very difficult due to its distance from the mouth or anus, as well as its anatomical structure consisting of numerous flexions and a length exceeding 5 m.
