Utility of Hybrid Endoscopy Combining Small-Bowel Capsule Endoscopy and Conventional Ileocolonoscopy in Crohn's Disease.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid endoscopy in assessing Crohn's disease activity and guiding treatment.
Utilized hybrid endoscopy combining capsule endoscopy and conventional ileocolonoscopy.
Assessed disease activity in Crohn's disease patients.
Compared treatment decisions before and after hybrid endoscopy.
Hybrid endoscopy provided a comprehensive evaluation of Crohn's disease activity.
It aided in making informed treatment decisions for patients requiring intensified treatment.

Abstract

This novel hybrid endoscopy approach permits a comprehensive assessment of CD activity using currently available technology. Hybrid endoscopy may be helpful in guiding treatment decisions, particularly treatment intensification in patients who have not achieved ER.
