Summary

Pillcam colon capsule (PCC) endoscopy is a novel strategy tool to inspect colon mucosa. The aim of the present study is to evaluate if PCC endoscopy is able to precisely investigate patients with ulcerative colitis and reach high consistency to conventional colonoscopy.

Detailed description

Symptomatic patients with confirmed ulcerative colitis (UC) were enrolled in this prospective single-center study. No sooner had patients gone through Pillcam colon capsule (PCC) endoscopy solution than they got conventional colonoscopy which is recognized as the "gold standard" examination technique. The extent of mucosal damage and inflammatory lesions during both modalities were recorded for comparison. In addition, the regimen of bowel preparation, completion rate, colonic cleanliness, compliance or adverse events were analyzed.
