PROCEDURE INFORMATION

CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY

What is a Capsule Endoscopy?

A procedure that lets your doctor examine the lining of the middle part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the three protions of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum). Your doctor will use a pill sized video capsule with its own camera and light source that will take video of the inside lining of your small bowel. You will swallow the capsule which will naturally excrete with your bowel movement. You will them mail the capsule to the company, who will upload the video on a cloud portal for your Physician to review.
