There is good news for patients referred for endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures but are hesitant due to the intrusive nature of the procedures as Aga Khan University Hospital has introduced capsule endoscopy, a non-invasive way of conducting the two procedures.
Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. A capsule endoscopy camera sits inside a vitamin-size capsule you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist.
