Abstract

<p>In 2014, colon capsule endoscopy became covered by health insurance in Japan. To improve the excretion rate of the capsule, we investigated a pretreatment method using castor oil and were able to shorten the capsule excretion and examination time in all 20 patients (including 4 patients undergoing dialysis) evaluated. Subsequently, a multi-center joint study was conducted, and it was found that castor oil improved the colon capsule ejection rate; it is currently used in the regimen for polyp visualization recommended by the Japan Capsule Endoscopy Society. Finally, it accompanies the current conditioning and booster medications administered in our institution.</p>
