摘　　要：Background The diagnosis of small bowel diseases remains relatively inefficient using traditional imaging techniques. Capsule endoscopy （CE） and double-balloon enteroscopy （DBE） are two novel methods of enteroscopy for examining the entire small bowel. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of CE and DBE in patients with suspected small bowel diseases and to investigate the clinical significance of combined use of these two novel modalities. Methods Two hundred and eighteen patients were evaluated for suspected small bowel disease, including 116 with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and 102 with obscure abdominal pain or chronic diarrhea. One hundred and sixty-five out of these patients underwent CE first and 53 patients underwent DBE （under anesthesia with propofol） first. DBE was recommended after negative or equivocal evaluation on CE and vise versa. Introduction of the endoscope during DBE was either orally or anally and the patients were referred for a second procedure using the opposite route several days later when no abnormalities were found on the first procedure. The detection rates, diagnostic accuracy, tolerance and frequency of adverse events of these two modalities were then analyzed. Results Failure of the procedure was seen in one patient with CE and in two patients with DBE. Sixty-four DBE procedures were carded out in 51 patients; by the oral route in 34 cases, the anal route in 4 and both routes in 13 cases. The overall detection rate of small bowel diseases using CE （72.0%, 118/164） was superior to that with DBE （41.2%, 21/51）; X2=16.1218, P〈0.0001. The diagnostic rate （51.8%, 85/164） was also higher than that with the latter procedure （39.2%, 20/51）, but was not significantly different （X^2=2.4771, P〉0.05）. Furthermore, the detection rate of small bowel diseases in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding using CE （88.0%, 88/100） was superior to that of DBE （60.0%, 9/15）; X2=7.7457, P=0.0054.
