• The development of capsule endoscopy （CE） in 2001has given gastroenterologists the opportunity toinvestigate the small bowel in a non-invasive way. CE ismost commonly performed for obscure gastrointestinalbleeding, but other indications include diagnosis orfollow-up of Crohn＇s disease, suspicion of a smallbowel tumor, diagnosis and surveillance of hereditarypolyposis syndromes, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorydrug-induced small bowel lesions and celiac disease.Almost fifteen years have passed since the release ofthe small bowel capsule. The purpose of this reviewis to offer the reader a brief but complete overviewon small bowel CE anno 2014, including the technicaland procedural aspects, the possible complications andthe most important indications. We will end with somefuture perspectives of CE.
