Camera capsule used for small bowel diagnosis (capsule endoscopy)

Procedures

  • Capsule endoscopy
  • Aesthetic procedures with a plastic surgeon

Capsule endoscopy

In capsule endoscopy, you swallow a capsule with a camera that takes images of the small intestine. It is used to diagnose diseases in areas that gastroscopy and colonoscopy cannot reach:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (diagnosis and follow-up of Crohn’s disease) – when endoscopy and other imaging have not given a diagnosis and there is no bowel obstruction
  • Hidden digestive bleeding and chronic anaemia
  • Polyposis syndromes
  • Coeliac disease, malabsorption and growth delay in children

Aesthetic procedures with a plastic surgeon

Aesthetic procedures that require plastic-surgery expertise are planned and performed together with a plastic surgeon.
