At Abhiman Gastro Superspeciality Hospital, Miraj, led by Dr. Abhiman Pawar, we offer Capsule Endoscopy, an innovative, non-invasive way to visualize the small intestine — a part of the digestive tract not easily seen with traditional endoscopy. This breakthrough technology allows for accurate diagnosis of intestinal disorders without discomfort or downtime.
Capsule endoscopy uses a tiny wireless camera enclosed in a vitamin-sized capsule that you simply swallow. As it travels through your digestive system, it captures thousands of high-resolution images of the small intestine, which are transmitted to a recorder worn around your waist. These detailed visuals help detect abnormalities that standard tests might miss.
Your doctor may recommend this procedure to:
Identify unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.
Detect Crohn’s disease and small bowel inflammation.
Locate tumors or cancers within the small intestine.
Diagnose celiac disease and assess intestinal damage.
Evaluate the esophagus for varices or abnormalities.
Screen for polyps in those with hereditary syndromes.
Provide follow-up imaging when X-rays or CT scans are inconclusive.
You’ll swallow the capsule with water — it’s smooth and easy to ingest.
The camera begins recording images as it moves through your intestines.
You can continue normal activities while wearing a recording belt.
After about 8 hours, the procedure is complete, and the capsule naturally exits your body.
Before the test, you may need to fast for 8–12 hours to ensure clear imaging.
Resume clear liquids after two hours and light food after four.
Avoid strenuous activities during the test.
The capsule is painlessly expelled within a few days.
