SMALL BOWEL CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY

Capsule Endoscopy
Wireless capsule endoscopy is a technology that allows visualization of the small bowel. It can detect the source of occult bleeding in 50% to 75%. In patients with iron deficiency anemia, capsule endoscopy is another way to visualize potential sources of blood loss. Patients need to be informed that capsules can obstruct at the site of small-bowel tumors or stenosis. Wireless capsule endoscopy has become the test of choice following negative upper endoscopy/colonoscopy in patients with occult bleeding.
Please schedule a consult by calling Dr. Kopp’s office at 617-527-6200.
