Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy

A small bowel capsule endoscopy, or just capsule endoscopy, is a procedure to view your small intestine by having you swallow a capsule the size of a large pill, which has a camera inside. This capsule travels through your digestive system and sends pictures to a device worn around your waist, which saves them for later review by your gastroenterologist.
