Our endoscopy suite is equipped with the latest technology to perform minimally invasive procedures that allow us to visualize and assess the digestive tract. Our skilled gastroenterologists use endoscopy to diagnose and treat conditions such as ulcers, polyps, and gastrointestinal bleeding, ensuring accurate evaluations and effective treatments. 

Endoscopy and colonoscopy are medical procedures used to visualize the inside of the body, particularly the digestive tract, using a flexible tube with a camera attached to it.

    1.    Endoscopy: Endoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) with a camera and light source through a natural opening in the body, such as the mouth or anus. It allows doctors to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. Endoscopy is used to diagnose and treat conditions like acid reflux, ulcers, and bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
    2.    Colonoscopy: Colonoscopy is a type of endoscopy specifically used to examine the large intestine (colon) and the rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the anus to visualize the colon’s lining. It is a common procedure for screening and diagnosing conditions such as colorectal cancer, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Both endoscopy and colonoscopy are important tools for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of various gastrointestinal issues. They allow doctors to see the inside of the body without the need for open surgery, leading to quicker recovery times for patients.
