Diseases of the Small Intestine are difficult to diagnose and treat. Introducing a latest advanced technology called“Power Spiral Enteroscopy”in Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad. The Power Spiral allows for fast and gentle access to reach deep into the gastrointestinal tract by pleating the small bowel onto the enteroscope using a spiral segment. This is achieved via an integrated motor, which rotates the single-use Power Spiral cover tube that is equipped with soft spiral-shaped fins that gently follow the mucosa. The enhanced insertion speed, easy advancement, controlled withdrawal- and improved maneuverability can substantially reduce the overall procedure time and allow time for effective treatment. This motorized advancement, makes it easier to penetrate deep into the small bowel, making it possible to see the entire intestinal lumen.
