Of all the 81 examinations,33(40. 7% )were obscure gastrointestinal bleeding,29(35. 8% ) incomplete intestinal obstruction,and 19(23. 5% )chronic abdominal pain or diarrhea. The intubation depth was 230 cm for the oral approach,and 100 cm for the anal approach. The diagnostic yield of SBE was 67. 9% ,the main lesions were small intestinal ulcer,small intestinal inflammation,small intestinal tumor,small intestinal polyp. A total of 8 patients underwent endoscopic therapy,of whom 5 underwent endoscopic hemostatic therapy and 3 underwent resection of polyp. No serious complications were found.Conclusions:
