Duodenal Lavage

Duodenal lavage is a medical procedure that involves removing the contents of the duodenum (the duodenum is part of the small intestine) and applying medication to its walls using a special probe. This procedure can be used for various diseases, such as cholecystitis, duodenitis, diverticulitis and others.

Duodenal lavage is carried out under the supervision of a physician and requires special equipment and training. The procedure begins by inserting a probe into the duodenum through the mouth or nose.

It is important to note that duodenal lavage is not a replacement for treatment of the underlying disease. It can only be used as a complementary treatment and should be carried out under the supervision of a physician.
