Core Tip |
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy are the techniques of choice for the study of the pathologies of the upper and lower digestive tracts. Despite their many advantages, these techniques can be unpleasant and uncomfortable for the patient and may even require sedation, with the potential disadvantages that might imply. In this scenario, capsule endoscopy (PillCam ESO for the study of the esophagus and stomach and PillCam Colon mainly for the study of colonic diseases) is an alternative to conventional endoscopy, as it has demonstrated its usefulness, an adequate diagnostic yield and good tolerance by patients. |
