Abstract

Small-bowel disorders have typically been challenging to diagnose because of difficulty visualizing this organ. The recent development of an innovative M2A(TM) Capsule that provides video visualization of the small bowel may have a unique niche in the diagnosis of small bowel disorders. This article highlights a pediatric patient's experience of capsule endoscopy to help the reader more clearly understand the procedure and appropriate nursing care.
