Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2025 Dec;117(12):804-805. doi: 10.17235/reed.2025.11597/2025.

Abstract

Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy (MCCE) presents a minimally invasive alternative to conventional gastroscopy for gastric and small bowel evaluation. This study assessed 30 patients using the NaviCam MCCE system, demonstrating effective visualisation of the oesophagus and stomach. MCCE could be a valuable in special cases, though further studies are needed to confirm its role in routine clinical practice.
