Summary

The provider examines the ileum using an endoscope, a tubular instrument with a light source and camera, which he inserts through a previously placed stoma, the opening on the skin of a surgically created passageway into the ileum to check for the presence of a bowel disease. He takes samples of any suspicious tissue by brushing or washing the area to collect cells for laboratory analysis.
