Core Tip	Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a technique to detect small bowel pathology which sometimes reveals non-small bowel abnormalities (NSBAs). There are no data on the incidence of NSBAs in capsule endoscopy. In this study, 595 capsule endoscopy procedures were included. Abnormalities were found in 306 (51.4%) of cases. Of these 306 patients, 85 (27.7%) had abnormalities within reach of conventional endoscopes. The fact that a significant proportion of patients referred for small bowel CE had lesions within the reach of conventional endoscopes indicates that CE was unnecessarily performed and emphasizes the importance of critical selection of patients for capsule endoscopy.
