A member asked:
I had a capsule endoscopy that was clear. in april & aug 18th i had mild bowel obstructions in the sm intestines. could the camera miss any adhesions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES , not intended: Capsule endoscopy will detect pathology ( disease ) inside the lumen of bowel like bleeding , tumors etc It can not visualize the adhesions as they are outer surface of bowel, but laparoscopic examination will . Speak to your doctor
