Enteroscopy
एंटेरोस्कोपी (छोटी आंत की जांच)
एंटेरोस्कोपी (Enteroscopy) एक विशेष दूरबीन जांच है जिसका उपयोग छोटी आंत (small intestine) के अंदरूनी हिस्से को देखने और वहां की बीमारियों का इलाज करने के लिए किया जाता है। सामान्य एंडोस्कोपी और कोलोनोस्कोपी से छोटी आंत के पूरे हिस्से को नहीं देखा जा सकता। एंटेरोस्कोपी में बैलून-असिस्टेड या स्पाइरल तकनीक का उपयोग करके छोटी आंत के गहरे हिस्सों में छिपी ब्लीडिंग, अल्सर या गांठों का पता लगाया जाता है।

Dr. Akhilesh Yadav recommends enteroscopy as the primary therapeutic step for small bowel bleeding. It allows us to directly apply heat, clips, or argon plasma to stop bleeding that capsule endoscopy can only photograph.

प्रक्रिया के दौरान क्या होता है?
Walkthrough of the clinical steps taken during a Enteroscopy procedure.
Sedation & Setup
You are given deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. Vitals are stabilized.
Balloons Inflated
The enteroscope (with overtube) is inserted. The balloons are inflated and deflated sequentially to pleat the small intestine onto the scope, allowing deep advancement.
Inspection & Therapy
The small bowel lining is carefully examined. Ulcers are biopsied, and bleeding points are cauterized or clipped.
Withdrawal
The scope is gently withdrawn, checking the pleated sections again.
रिकवरी और सावधानियां — Recovery Guide
What to expect and how to care for yourself after a Enteroscopy procedure.
What to Expect
You will wake up under observation. Passing gas helps relieve the air used to open up the long loops of the small bowel.
When to Return Home
Discharged on the same day for diagnostic tests, or next day if major bleeding control was performed.
Diet Guidelines
Start with clear liquids after 2 hours. Eat a soft diet for the next 24 hours.
Physical Activity
Rest for 24 hours. Do not lift weights or exercise for 3 days.

सुरक्षा, लाभ और सफलता दर
Clinical safety protocols and therapeutic benefits of undergoing Enteroscopy.
Key Benefits of the Procedure
Procedural Risks
Enteroscopy is generally safe. Because the small bowel wall is thin, the risk of perforation is slightly higher than standard endoscopy (around 1 in 500 cases, particularly if dilatation is done).
Success Rate
90% diagnostic success in localized small bowel bleeding.
Continuous Monitoring
Continuous pulse, BP, and respiration tracking.
पूछे जाने वाले मुख्य सवाल — FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Enteroscopy procedures.
कैप्सूल एंडोस्कोपी में मरीज को एक कैमरा पिल निगलनी होती है जो केवल फोटो खींचती है, उसमें इलाज या बायोप्सी नहीं की जा सकती। एंटेरोस्कोपी में डॉक्टर खुद दूरबीन डालकर सीधे इलाज और बायोप्सी कर सकते हैं।
Doctor's Personal Advice
"Unexplained anemia or hidden blood loss is often due to small bowel ulcers or vascular malformations. Do not wait until your hemoglobin drops dangerously low; seek specialized small bowel evaluation."
