Spyhole endoscopy

Anyone medical on here who can explain what this is please? I’ve Googled but to no avail.

My Dad had a normal endoscopy a week ago and now booked for this ‘spyhole’ one in September.

Thanks.

Sounds like a capsule endoscopy. That's where you swallow a pill containing a tiny camera that travels through your system and can view areas that are difficult to access with ordinary endoscopy.

Google capsule endoscopy, and hope your Dad will be OK.
