Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy Procedure NYC
Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy Procedure
Capsule endoscopy allows experienced gastroenterologists like our doctors to examine the lining of your small bowel. Unlike a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy, a capsule endoscopy allows the doctor to visually check the middle of your digestive tract, including the three portions of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum). No other minimally invasive procedure provides so much information. The staff at our practice will give you a pill-sized video camera to swallow. This tiny camera has its own light source, battery, and radio transmitter so it takes video images of your small intestine as it passes through.This camera takes two pictures per second for an eight hour time period. These images are sent to a small recording device that is worn on the waist of the patient who is undergoing capsule endoscopy. The patient can freely move during the examination. At the end of the procedure (after 8 hours), you return to the office and the data recorder and sensor device will be removed. The doctor then downloads these images later and interprets them into useful information about your small intestine. The capsule normally passes into the toilet and does not need to be retrieved.
