Endoscopic visualization of the small bowel is now feasible with a recently developed long, small-caliber, transnasal endoscope. Previously, with standard instruments, endoscopic views of the small intestine were limited to the most proximal and distal portions or required laparotomy and intraoperative endoscopy. Small bowel enteroscopy with the new transnasal sondetype flexible endoscope now allows most of the small bowel to be examined as a relatively short, ambulatory procedure. The literature pertaining to endoscopic evaluation of the small intestine is reviewed.
使用最近研发的长型、小口径经鼻内窥镜，现在可以实现小肠的内镜可视化。以前，使用标准器械时，小肠的内镜观察仅限于最近端和最远端部分，或者需要剖腹手术和术中内镜检查。现在，使用新型经鼻探头式柔性内窥镜进行小肠肠镜检查，作为一种相对简短的非卧床操作，能够检查大部分小肠。本文对有关小肠内镜评估的文献进行了综述。
