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)
