Spiral enteroscopy is another advanced endoscopic technique used to visualize the small intestine, similar to balloon enteroscopy. This method utilizes a specialized overtube with spiral protrusions that is fitted over a standard endoscope. By rotating the overtube, the spiral protrusions gently pleat and advance the small intestine over the endoscope, allowing for deeper exploration of this challenging part of the digestive tract. Like balloon enteroscopy, spiral enteroscopy is valuable for investigating obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, diagnosing and managing Crohn's disease affecting the small bowel, identifying small intestinal tumors and polyps, and evaluating the cause of chronic abdominal pain or diarrhea when other tests are inconclusive. It allows for visualization of the small intestinal mucosa, tissue biopsy, and therapeutic interventions such as marking lesions, dilating strictures, and removing polyps. The procedure is typically performed under sedation. While both balloon and spiral enteroscopy aim to improve access to the small intestine, the choice of technique may depend on the specific clinical situation and the endoscopist's experience.
