Abstract
We describe our technique of small bowel biopsy, which has been used on 190 occasions over a four year period. In 77%, the examination was completed within 10 minutes, and fluoroscopy times were less than 10 seconds in 75% of the cases. The technique is easily taught, and it has made the examination a minor procedure.
