Duodenofibroscope

Duodenofibroscopy (DFS) is an endoscopic examination method that allows you to visualize and study the inner surface of the duodenum and adjacent parts of the jejunum. Unlike a conventional fiberscope, which uses optics and illumination to examine the inner surface of the gastrointestinal tract, a duodenofiberscope has additional capabilities for performing biopsies, taking tissue samples and administering medications.

Duodenofibroscopy is carried out using a duodenofibroscope - a special endoscopic device consisting of a flexible tube and a camera that transmits an image to a monitor. A tube is inserted through the patient's mouth or nose and a camera is placed into the duodenum.

When performing duodenofibroscopy, you can see various pathologies, such as ulcers, tumors, polyps and other diseases. In addition, this method can be used to perform biopsies and take tissue samples for further research.

One of the advantages of duodenofibroscopy is the ability to administer medications directly into the duodenum, which can help in the treatment of various diseases.

However, like any other research method, duodenofibroscopy has its limitations and may be contraindicated in some diseases. Therefore, before performing duodenofibroscopy, it is necessary to consult a doctor and undergo the necessary examination.
