Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy helps UK doctors diagnose digestive problems
Traditional upper endoscopy and colonoscopy are unable to reach the small intestine, but using capsule endoscopy, a pill-sized video capsule with a lens and light source, UK doctors examine the lining of the middle part of the gastrointestinal tract. This examination may detect polyps, Crohn's disease, ulcers and tumors. With the largest team of gastroenterologists in Kentucky, UK HealthCare offers a comprehensive approach to the screening, diagnosis and treatment of digestive conditions. For a free brochure on capsule endoscopy, call 1-800-333-8874.
Colonoscopy
An important test, now more convenient
Men and women should have a colonoscopy every 10 years starting at age 50. The UK Digestive Health team is now offering "same day prep" colonoscopies. Patients can begin their prep in the morning, then have their colonoscopy in the late afternoon and return home that evening.
To learn what to expect during the procedure , view the colonoscopy video.
Schedule your colonoscopy today by calling 859-257-1000 or 1-800-333-8874.
