Abstract
Since its introduction in 2001 capsule endoscopy opened up the small bowel for diagnostic approaches followed by double balloon enteroscopy which enabled the endoscopic community to perform therapeutic interventions in the whole small intestine. In this review the scientific developments related to indications, diagnostic yield and complications of the last years between the competing devices double ballon enteroscopy, single balloon enteroscopy and spiral enteroscopy are illustrated.Keywords: Complications; Deep enteroscopy; Diagnostic yield; Double balloon enteroscopy; Indications; Single balloon enteroscopy; Spiral enteroscopy
