Abstract
Video capsule endoscopy has become the gold standard for the evaluation of small bowel pathology. Capsular retention remains the most significant risk of this intervention. Here, we present two cases of retained capsules and our minimally invasive approach to retrieval. We also review the literature pertaining to retained endoscopy capsules and highlight a range of medical, surgical, and preventative strategies utilized in its management.
