Key Words	PillCam SB2; Capsule endoscopy; Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
Core Tip	The PillCam SB2-ex and the PillCam SB2 have the same size and specifications, except the PillCam SB2-ec offers 12 h of operation, 4 more hours than the original PillCam SB2. There has been no evaluation regarding the completion rate and diagnostic yield between these two capsules. We examined 200 cases using the 8-h PillCam SB2 and compared it to 200 cases using the 12 h PillCam SB2-ex. We found the PillCam SB2-ex to have a significantly increased completion rate, though without any improvement in the diagnostic yield compared to the PillCam SB2.
