Intubational endoscopy is uncomfortable for patients and incurs the risks of bleeding, perforation and sedation related complications. Gastroscopy is the 'gold-standard' investigation to identify upper gastrointestinal pathology but is poorly tolerated by patients. Moreover a large proportion of gastroscopies are normal or reveal insignificant pathology and despite efforts to produce pre-procedure scoring systems to grade the appropriateness of the procedure, correlation with diagnostic yield is poor. Capsule endoscopy is very well tolerated but is traditionally reserved for examination of the small bowel since it cannot be manipulated to view all areas of the capacious stomach. A capsule which could overcome this and be steered to examine all areas of the mucosal surface of the stomach as an alternative to intubational endoscopy would be advantageous to patients. Mirocam Navi (MC1000-WM, Intromedic Ltd, Seoul, Korea) is a small bowel capsule endoscope with an inclusion of magnetic material. Available accessories include a handheld magnet with which to gain some control over the capsule in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The capsule is CE marked (CE0120) with the handheld magnet classed as an accessory. In order to assess the feasibility of our hypothesis we conducted a study in an ex vivo porcine stomach model, commonly used for endoscopy training purposes. Different coloured/shaped beads were sewn into each major location of the stomach (cardia, fundus, greater and lesser curve, anterior and posterior wall, antrum and D1). The stomach was distended with 1000mls of water. Endoscopy was performed according to a set protocol. All stomach tags were identified in 87.2% (41/47) of examinations.
