Video Tip: Differentiating between Folds and Submucosal Lesions on Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Gerard Eisenberg discusses how to differentiate between folds or bulges and submucosal lesions on small bowel capsule endoscopy. He emphasizes the importance of accurately identifying submucosal lesions to avoid unnecessary procedures and costs. Eisenberg provides examples and guidance on distinguishing between folds or bulges and submucosal lesions based on changes in shape, villi appearance, and mucosal color. He also suggests performing a CTE or MRE to assess the reach and potential treatment options for suspected submucosal lesions. Eisenberg concludes by recommending further resources and subscribing to GI Now. This video tip is sponsored by an educational grant from Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.
