The small bowel enema: experience with 150 examination.
Clinical application of the small bowel enema has received waxing and waning enthusiasm since it was first described in 1929. Our experiences with 150 small bowel enema studies is presented. The Sellink method was used for patients without ileostomy, (140), and retrograde studies for those with ileostomy. The merits of the small bowel enema compared to the conventional technique are discussed. The small bowel enema is the preferred method for radiologic assessment of the small bowel in patients whose clinical picture suggests small bowel disease.
