Introduction

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become a very important tool for diagnosing of many small-bowel disorders. Upcoming VCE techniques for the investigation of disorders of the esophagus, stomach, and colon may render it a promising technique for these organs as well.

The purpose of this review is to update the previous set of European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines published in 2004. This update is based on our current knowledge of clinical practice and the published literature in this field.
