| Core Tip |
This large multicenter study evaluates the safety of diagnostic single-balloon enteroscopy in 2865 procedures, the largest cohort to date. While the overall major complication rate was low (0.4%), all complications were acute small bowel perforations, primarily in the ileum. Importantly, prior abdominal surgery and the use of abdominal compression significantly increased the risk of perforation. These findings reaffirm the safety profile of single-balloon enteroscopy but highlight the need for careful patient selection and technical vigilance. The study fills a critical gap by identifying key risk factors for complications in a large real-world population. |
