Endoscopy Procedures

An endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure in which your doctor uses specialized instruments to view and operate on the internal organs and vessels of your body. In this procedure the surgeon uses a long, thin and flexible tube called the endoscope, which has a light and camera attached to it to see inside the body. The camera captures coloured images of the internal organs of the body and displays it on a monitor to be viewed by the doctor. The minimally-invasive endoscopy procedure involves inserting the endoscope into an opening of the body, such as the mouth, the nostrils or the anal cavity.

What is the need of Endoscopy

An Endoscopy is usually needed:

to help the doctor determine the cause of any abnormal symptoms you’re having
to remove a small sample of tissue, which can then be sent to a lab for further testing; this is called an endoscopic biopsy
to help your doctor see inside the body during a surgical procedure, such as repairing a stomach ulcer, or removing gallstones or tumors

The doctor may perform an endoscopy if you’re having symptoms of any of the following conditions:

inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease
stomach ulcer
chronic constipation
pancreatitis
gallstones
unexplained bleeding in the digestive tract
tumors
infections
blockage of the esophagus
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
hiatal hernia
unusual vaginal bleeding
blood in your urine
other digestive tract issues

The doctor will review your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and possibly order some blood tests prior to an endoscopy. These tests will help the doctor to gain a more accurate understanding of the possible cause of your symptoms. These tests may also help them determine if the problems can be treated without endoscopy or surgery.

UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY

Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure used to examine a person’s digestive tract. The procedure uses a long, thin and flexible tube called the endoscope, which has a light and camera attached to it. The camera captures coloured images of the interior of the organs or the body cavity and displays it on a monitor to be viewed by the doctor. The minimally-invasive endoscopy procedure involves inserting the endoscope into an opening of the body, such as the mouth, the nostrils. We perform our own Endoscopies.

COLONOSCOPY

Colonoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon). He or she uses a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope to look at the colon. A colonoscopy helps find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding.

ERCP

ERCP is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the pancreatic and bile ducts. A bendable, lighted tube (endoscope) about the thickness of your index finger is placed through your mouth and into your stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
