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.

Thank you veeeeh. I’m sure the procedure will be explained but I was curious!
