Incision, excision, resection and anastomosis of small and large intestine: Local excision and destruction of diseased tissue in the small intestine: Excision, endoscopic, simple (push-back technique): Other

Diseased tissue has been removed from your small intestine.

The small intestine is the longest section of the digestive tract. It consists of 3 sections. The 1st section begins immediately after the stomach and is called the duodenum. The gallbladder and the pancreas secrete the digestive juices in this section. The jejunum and ileum sections come next. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood from the food in the small intestine. The small intestine is followed by the large intestine. The inside of the small intestine is lined with mucous membrane.

The treatment involves inserting a tube and pushing it to your small intestine. A camera is attached to the end of the tube. This camera then sends images to a screen during the examination. It can then be seen whether the tissue is healthy or changed. Small tools such as forceps and scissors can be pushed through at the front of the tube to remove the tissue.
