Advanced Diagnostic Procedures to Provide the Best Treatment and Care

Among the diagnostic procedures we employ to accurately diagnose gastrointestinal and liver conditions in patients are the following:

• Gastroscopy – A gastroscopy is used by doctors to examine the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. It involves passing a thin tube through these areas, to which a light and camera are attached. The procedure allows doctors to look for any abnormalities that may be the cause of symptoms such as bloody stool and upper abdominal pain. In the event an abnormality is found, a suitable treatment will be recommended. For example: if an operable polyp is discovered, a polypectomy may be offered.
• Colonoscopy – This procedure is similar to a gastroscopy, but the areas examined during a colonoscopy are the large intestine and the rectum. Often used to screen for cancer, a colonoscopy is also useful in the diagnosis of lower abdominal pain, chronic inflammatory bowel disease and various other gastrointestinal conditions.
• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) – In simple terms, this is a combination of an endoscopy and an x-ray. When symptoms such as tenderness in the right hypochondrium or pain in the right hypochondrium present, an ERCP can be used to determine whether this is due to acalculous cholecystitis, calculous cholecystitis, gallstones and bile duct stones or some other abnormality. Patients with other types of conditions, such as icterus, may also benefit from an ECRP.
