Core Tip Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) and simple balloon enteroscopy (SBE) are complementary techniques for evaluating small intestinal disorders. VCE is preferred as an initial non-invasive diagnostic tool, while SBE excels in therapeutic interventions and histopathological confirmations. VCE shows superior performance in detecting vascular lesions, whereas SBE is more effective for ulcerative lesions and Crohn's disease. The choice between modalities depends on the suspected lesion type and need for intervention. Combining both techniques enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient management. Future research should focus on improving diagnostic concordance and refining interpretation of VCE findings to optimize the diagnostic pathway for small bowel disorders.
