What is a double balloon enteroscopy and who qualifies for this surgery? Get the answers from Dr. Charles C. Gabbert, gastroenterologist and Medical Director of the Gastrointestinal Lab and Procedure Unit at UPMC St. Margaret. | UPMC

Double Balloon Enteroscopy can be used to access the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and treat complications in the small intestine. The small intestine is much harder to access with traditional methods, but this procedure makes it accessible, even the hardest to reach areas. It may be used to treat bleeding and polyps in the GI tract, or for diagnosis of tumors in the small intestine. It is important to find the right treatment for you.
