Core Tip	This article examines the role of current diagnostic modalities for the investigation of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) and outcomes in patients undergoing these investigations. Capsule endoscopy and double balloon enteroscopy remain the cornerstone of diagnostic and therapeutic management. The diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of certain modalities are influenced by the nature of bleeding in OGIB. Long-term outcome data in patients with OGIB is limited but is most promising for capsule endoscopy.
