Endoscopy Services
Overview
We offer state-of-the-art Endoscopy Services to diagnose and treat a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) and respiratory conditions. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our experienced medical specialists to examine the inside of the body using an endoscope—a flexible tube with a camera and light attached to it. Our endoscopy services are performed by skilled gastroenterologists and pulmonologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for our patients.
Endoscopy Procedures Offered
We provide a range of endoscopic procedures to address various medical concerns, including:
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EGD): This procedure examines the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and inflammation.
Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is used to visualize the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is a vital screening tool for detecting colorectal cancer, as well as diagnosing and managing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and polyps.
Bronchoscopy: This endoscopic procedure involves examining the airways and lungs. It helps in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions such as persistent cough, lung infections, and lung cancer.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): ERCP is used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. It is particularly effective in managing bile duct stones and diagnosing pancreatic disorders.
