Colon capsule endoscopy is a wireless and minimally invasive technique for visualization of the whole colon. With recent improvements of technical features in second-generation systems, a more important role for colon capsule endoscopy is rapidly emerging. Although several limitations and drawbacks are yet to be resolved, its usefulness as a tool for colorectal cancer screening and monitoring disease activity in inflammatory bowel diseases has become more apparent with increased use. Further investigations, including multicenter trials, are required to evaluate the substantial role of the colon capsule in managing colorectal diseases.
结肠胶囊内镜检查是一种用于观察整个结肠的无线且微创的技术。随着第二代系统技术特性的不断改进，结肠胶囊内镜检查正迅速发挥更重要的作用。尽管仍有一些局限性和缺点有待解决，但随着其使用的增加，它作为结直肠癌筛查和监测炎症性肠病疾病活动的工具的实用性已变得更加明显。需要进行包括多中心试验在内的进一步研究，以评估结肠胶囊在管理结直肠疾病中的重要作用。
