Core Tip	Disorders of the small intestine account for an increasing number of hospital discharges and aggregate healthcare cost. Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) represents a novel approach to diagnose and treat small bowel disease and can be performed via the antegrade or retrograde approach. SBE has different performance characteristics depending upon the route chosen, but most studies combine the information. Little data exists on the retrograde approach alone, a notoriously difficult procedure. This study constitutes the largest published cohort to date of retrograde SBE, with a focus on patient and procedural characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic yield.
