 On the basis of the technological development and the accumulated experience with small bowel capsule endoscope, the PillCam® COLON capsule endoscope(Given Imaging)became available in 2006. Results of a study comparing capsule endoscopy with optical colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal polyps and cancers, were released in the summer of 2009. The results showed that PillCam® COLON's sensitivity for detecting colonic lesions was low as compared with the use of optical colonoscopy. In addition, preparation before use and the process during use of capsule endoscopy is severe, so this type of PillCam® COLON would not be well accepted in Japan. However, a new PillCam® COLON 2 will be available in the immediate future. We expect this new PillCam® COLON 2. To be better and more congenial for doctors and patients.
