Diagnostic Enteroscopy

Diagnostic Enteroscopy is a specialized endoscopic procedure that allows a gastroenterologist to examine the small intestine—an area not easily accessible by standard endoscopy or colonoscopy. It involves the use of a long, flexible tube called an enteroscope, equipped with a camera and light, to visualize the small bowel in detail.

Depending on the method and indication, different types of enteroscopy may be performed, including push enteroscopy, balloon-assisted enteroscopy (single or double balloon), and spiral enteroscopy.

Why is it done?

Diagnostic enteroscopy is used to investigate unexplained symptoms or conditions affecting the small intestine, such as:

• Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding
• Chronic iron-deficiency anemia
• Suspected small bowel tumors or polyps
• Crohn’s disease and other inflammatory conditions
• Abnormal findings on imaging or capsule endoscopy

What can it detect?

• Sources of bleeding in the small intestine
• Small bowel tumors or cancers
• Ulcers or erosions
• Vascular lesions (like angiodysplasia)
• Strictures or narrowing
• Inflammatory or infectious conditions

Is it safe?

Yes, enteroscopy is a safe and effective procedure, though it may take longer than standard endoscopy. It is performed under sedation or anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

Preparation:

• You will need to fast for at least 6–8 hours before the procedure.
• Additional bowel preparation may be required, depending on the approach.
• Inform your doctor about any medications, especially blood thinners, and your full medical history.

After the procedure:

• Most patients experience minimal discomfort.
• You may feel bloated or gassy for a short period.
• You’ll be monitored post-procedure and can usually go home the same day.
• Your doctor will discuss initial findings and plan further care based on biopsy or visual results.

Enteroscopy plays a crucial role in the early detection and treatment of small bowel disorders, providing valuable insights when other tests are inconclusive.
