Discover the revolution in digestive diagnoses with endoscopic capsule endoscopy at our medical center. This minimally invasive technique allows us to explore the digestive tract in great detail while maintaining maximum comfort for the patient.
An endoscopic capsule is a device that contains a camera. When swallowed, it travels through the digestive system capturing thousands of images that are then analyzed by specialists. This method does not require sedation and offers a much less invasive experience compared to traditional endoscopies.
To perform an endoscopic capsule examination, a special belt is used that the patient wears around the abdomen. This belt contains sensors that capture the signals sent by the capsule, thus allowing its route to be monitored in real time.
Preparation for an endoscopic capsule examination is simple. It generally includes fasting before the procedure and in some cases, may require a special diet or laxatives before the examination.
