To build the very best relationship between doctor and patient, the doctor in charge will take care of the patient at every stage of the process: consultation, diagnosis, endoscopy, hospitalization and later follow-up.
Endoscopy
Gastroenterologists often use a medical procedure called endoscopy to diagnose or treat various conditions such as ulcers, polyps or even cancers. The endoscopy allows our doctors to see inside the digestive tract, examine it carefully, and take biopsies (samples of mucosa) to further study the nature of the problem. Endoscopy is performed under a local or general anaesthesia.
Endoscopic procedures follow three methods:
- Gastroscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Rectoscopy / Anuscopy
Interventional Endoscopy
Interventional or therapeutic endoscopy, ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) and other techniques are the new modality of treatment, which can help to solve the problem with faster recovery and lower cost. These treatments can be used to eliminate an existing problem or to prevent a digestive tract problem occurring. Endoscopic treatment can be applied in all parts of the gastro-intestinal tract and bilio-pancreatic system. Most commonly used techniques are dilation, haemostasis, stenting, and removal of foreign bodies, etc.
Liver Biopsy
For liver diseases, correct diagnosis is crucial in determining the correct treatment. An advanced (specialized gun) is utilized to obtain the liver sample for biopsy. All results are analyzed and evaluated in accordance to international standards using the most recent available information. Treatment and follow-up for all such cases adhere to the same strict standards
