Services – Diagnostic and Therapeutic |
The
Endoscopy Services provides a full range of consultations and procedures
in the care of digestive disorders and problems of the gastrointestinal
system. Many of these procedures involve using an endoscope, a flexible
fiber optic tube with a light source and magnifying lenses, to look
into the gastrointestinal tract in order to diagnose and, in some
cases, treat problems of the digestive system. Endoscopy procedures
are used to discover the reason for swallowing difficulties, heart
burn, bleeding, chronic indigestion, and abdominal or chest pain,
among others.
A full range of diagnostic and therapeutic Endoscopic procedures
using video system is available in the Endoscopy Unit.
The procedures performed include gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and Endoscopic
Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP).
Both in-patient and out-patient services are available for patients.
The Endoscopy Unit is located at the 2nd Floor of the Medical Office
Building (MOB). For inquiries contact us at (63 2) 771-9000 to 02
ext 8217.
