A REVIEW ON ROBOTOC CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY

Science and Technology

A swallowable wireless miniature camera used to capture images of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa is called a capsule endoscope. Given Imaging created the first capsule endoscope type, which was authorized in Western nations in 2001. Prior to the development of double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) and capsule endoscopy (CE), there was no reliable method for diagnosing and treating individuals with unclear gastrointestinal bleeding. Bleeding of unclear cause that continues or returns following a negative primary or first endoscopy (colonoscopy or upper endoscopy) result is termed as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The PillCam SB was the first capsule endoscope device and is currently considered a first-line tool for identifying small bowel anomalies. In April 2007, it received approval in Japan. Oblique gastrointestinal bleeding is the primary indication for using the PillCam SB. Capsule retention, or the capsule staying in the digestive tract for at least two weeks, is almost the only side effect of Capsule endoscopy.DBE has the ability to retrieve a retained capsule. One of CE's drawbacks is that it can't be used for endoscopic procedures or to acquire biopsy specimens. For the management of cryptic GI bleeding, however, a PillCam SB plus DBE seems to be the most effective combination. A number of novel capsule endoscope types have been created recently, including the Olympus CE for small bowel examination, the PillCam ESO for esophageal illness research, and the PillCam COLON for colonic neoplasia diagnosis. Capsule Endoscopy is anticipated to improve many facets of GI disease assessment and treatment in the near future.
