Use of enteroscope without the overtube in incomplete colonoscopies.
Conclusions: Colonoscopy performed with SBE was safe and no adverse events during and/or after the procedure occurred. Our results suggest that SBE with no overtube is a useful and valid alternative to other type of scopes in difficult cases, especially those related to fixed/angulated colon and in female gender.
