Colon Capsule Endoscopy represents a new diagnostic technology for colonic exploration. Despite the great enthusiasm around this new technique, only few studies are available in the literature, and reported results are still controversial and non-homogeneous. Current preparation protocols have led to discordant results. In January 2010, the first Italian Meeting on Colon Capsule Endoscopy was held. Aim of this Meeting was to critically evaluate the available results obtained by Colon Capsule Endoscopy in clinical studies, in order to identify the proper test indications, to propose a shared preparation protocol and Colon Capsule Endoscopy procedure. Studies published in literature were extensively reviewed and analysed during the Meeting. The available evidence served to propose recommendations for preparation protocols, proper test indications and Colon Capsule Endoscopy procedure. Possible perspectives were also critically analysed and are reported in this paper.
结肠胶囊内镜代表了一种新的结肠探索诊断技术。尽管这项新技术引起了极大的关注，但文献中只有少数研究报告，而且报道的结果仍然存在争议且不一致。目前的准备方案导致了不一致的结果。2010 年 1 月，举行了第一次意大利结肠胶囊内镜会议。本次会议的目的是批判性地评估临床研究中通过结肠胶囊内镜获得的现有结果，以确定适当的检查适应证，提出共同的准备方案和结肠胶囊内镜操作流程。会议期间广泛审查和分析了文献中发表的研究。现有的证据被用来为准备方案、适当的检查适应证和结肠胶囊内镜操作流程提出建议。还对可能的前景进行了批判性分析，并在本文中报告。
