Standard therapy using device-assisted enteroscopy includes different hemostatic therapies, polypectomy, dilation and other possibilities. The most frequent indication is small bowel bleeding. However, other specific settings could require dedicated therapies such as desinvagination, percutaneous enteroscopic jejunostomy, stent placement, endoscopic mucosal resection in polypoid vascular lesions and foreign body extraction. The present review aimed to investigate and describe device-assisted advanced therapies in the small bowel, excluding conventional hemostatic therapies of vascular lesions.
