Endoscopes are important medical instruments that produce images of the interior surfaces of cavities in human bodies, for example the gastrointestinal (GI) tract including the esophagus, stomach, colon, and part of the small bowel joint spaces abdominal cavity thorax and other structures. In recent years, through technical improvements like wireless capsule endoscopy [32] and robotic surgery [33], minimally invasive surgery has become a common treatment. [Pg.171]

Conventional endoscopy is unable to satisfactorily access the small bowel. The relatively new technique of capsule endoscopy is, however, finding application in that context. In this technique, the patient swallows a small wireless camera that transmits images to sensors secured to the abdominal wall. There appears to be little agreement about preparatory treatment of the small bowel with simethicone before the use of capsule endoscopy. A search through relevant databases revealed six controlled trials favoring such treatment with respect to alternatives [31-36] and only two indicating a preference for alternative treatments [37,38]. [Pg.533]
