N2 - In this paper, we critically review the rationale, technical issues, and diagnostic findings, difficulties in interpretation, complications, potential clinical uses, and practical obstacles for capsule endoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We will review the currently limited data on its use in IBD and discuss future areas of investigation required to evaluate critically its potential utility in these patients.
