Popis: BACKGROUND AND AIM Extensive use of laxatives and incomplete excretion rates are problematic for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE). The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of castor oil as a booster. METHODS At four Japanese hospitals, 319 examinees undergoing CCE were enrolled retrospectively.
