Side Effects of Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is a well-tolerated and safe procedure and side effects are rare. The main risk is capsule retention, which is estimated to occur in fewer than 0.75% of cases. In the rare instances when this occurs further medical treatment may be required. Discuss concerns with your physician.
