Endoscopy

Summary

Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to examine the interior of the digestive tract.

Using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and high-definition camera, physicians can visualize and assess the esophagus, stomach, and intestines with precision.

Endoscopy allows for accurate diagnosis and, in some cases, immediate treatment of conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, or gastrointestinal bleeding — all with minimal discomfort and recovery time for the patient.

Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows direct visualization of the upper digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

Using a thin, flexible endoscope, physicians can identify and treat conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, and reflux-related damage.

The procedure is typically quick, safe, and provides essential insights for accurate diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is an advanced procedure used to examine the interior of the large intestine (colon) and rectum.

It plays a key role in detecting polyps, inflammation, bleeding, and early signs of colorectal cancer.

During the exam, a flexible tube with a camera is carefully guided through the colon, allowing for both diagnosis and, if needed, immediate removal of abnormalities to prevent future complications.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Through a specialized endoscope, contrast dye is introduced to visualize the bile and pancreatic ducts, helping identify blockages, stones, or narrowing.

This procedure not only aids in diagnosis but also allows for therapeutic interventions, such as stone removal or stent placement, during the same session.
