Brief Answer:
The test will help in visualisation of the lumen of the small bowel
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Hope you are not in discomfort.
A small bowel follow through will enable visualisation of the lumen of the small bowel from the duodenum, jejunum and the ileum and are parts of the small bowel as the name suggests.
It will confirm the normal lumen of the small bowel before the surgery and rule out any small bowel luminal problems.
