A novel modality for the estimation of the enteroscope insertion depth during double-balloon enteroscopy.
Until now, the insertion depth of the enteroscope during double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) could only be estimated. However, the currently available methods have limitations, and development of newer, simple, and accurate modalities is needed. ⋯ Calculating the length of the overtube passage is accurate, and it is simple to estimate the insertion depth of the enteroscope during DBE, which is useful in clinical practice.
