Upper GI Endoscopy
Upper GI endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Using a flexible tube with a camera, the doctor can diagnose conditions like ulcers, inflammation, or tumors, and even perform treatments such as biopsies if needed.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large intestine (colon) for abnormalities such as polyps, inflammation, or cancer. During the procedure, a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the rectum, allowing the doctor to view the colon’s lining. It’s an essential tool for early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that examines the rectum and lower part of the colon. A flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the rectum, allowing doctors to identify issues like inflammation, polyps, or tumors. This test is vital for diagnosing conditions and guiding further treatment.
Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal
Endoscopic foreign body removal is a procedure to extract objects that are accidentally swallowed and lodged in the digestive tract. Using a flexible endoscope, doctors can safely locate and remove the foreign body, relieving discomfort and preventing complications.
Endoscopic Variceal Ligation
Endoscopic variceal ligation is a treatment for esophageal varices, which are swollen veins that can bleed. During the procedure, bands are placed around the varices to stop bleeding and reduce the risk of further complications, promoting better digestive health.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
ERCP is a specialized procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts and pancreas. It allows doctors to visualize and address blockages, stones, or strictures, enhancing patient management for various gastrointestinal issues.
Side Viewing Duodenoscopy
Side viewing duodenoscopy is a diagnostic tool used to examine the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This procedure helps identify abnormalities such as tumors, blockages, or inflammation, allowing for targeted treatment to improve digestive health.
Polypectomy
Polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove polyps from the colon or rectum. During a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, the doctor uses specialized tools to safely excise polyps, reducing the risk of colorectal cancer and ensuring better long-term health.
Stricture Dilation
Stricture dilation is a procedure used to widen narrowed areas (strictures) in the gastrointestinal tract. Using a balloon or other devices during endoscopy, doctors can gently stretch the narrowed passage, improving the flow of food and liquids and alleviating symptoms.
Esophageal Stenting
Esophageal stenting involves placing a flexible tube (stent) in the esophagus to keep it open. This procedure helps relieve symptoms caused by strictures or obstructions, improving swallowing and quality of life for patients with various esophageal conditions.
