    Enteroscopy

    Enteroscopy is a specialized endoscopic procedure used to examine and treat conditions within the small intestine. It involves the use of a long, flexible tube equipped with a camera and light, known as an enteroscope, which is inserted through the mouth or anus to visualize the small intestine. There are different types of enteroscopy, including single-balloon, double-balloon, and spiral enteroscopy, each employing different techniques to advance the scope further into the small bowel. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing and managing conditions such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, small bowel tumors, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, and polyps.
    Enteroscopy allows for direct visualization, biopsy, and therapeutic interventions like polyp removal, dilation of strictures, and control of bleeding. It is a minimally invasive procedure typically performed under sedation to ensure patient comfort. The detailed examination provided by enteroscopy is invaluable in diagnosing and treating small intestine disorders, offering a comprehensive view that other imaging techniques may not provide.
