Choosing NMC As Salama Hospital for Capsule Endoscopy gives patients access to non-invasive gastrointestinal imaging, specialist interpretation, and comprehensive diagnostic support. Established in 2001, the CBAHI accredited hospital is located in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia and operates 120 beds with modern gastroenterology facilities.

Capsule Endoscopy provides a detailed view of sections of the small bowel that may be difficult to reach with standard endoscopic procedures. The patient swallows a disposable capsule equipped with a tiny camera and light source, which records images as it moves through the intestine. The captured information is transmitted to a recording device and reviewed by a gastroenterologist. Before the procedure, doctors assess factors such as swallowing ability and the possibility of intestinal narrowing that could prevent the capsule from passing normally.
