In addition, the scope also allows for therapeutic management of emergencies like variceal bleeding (procedures like sclerotherapy, variceal banding), endoscopic therapy for bleeding peptic ulcer by injection or application of hemoclips or thermal current.
Colonoscopy is a procedure that allows gastroenterologists to visualize and examine the entire large intestine directly. It is effective in the diagnosis or evaluation of various gastrointestinal conditions (e.g., colon polyps, colon cancer, diverticulosis, inflammatory bowel disease, bleeding, changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, obstruction, abnormal X-ray or computed tomography). , and when providing treatment (such as removing polyps or stopping bleeding).
The benefit of this method is that gastroenterologists can visualize the abnormal results, and lesions can be treated or removed during the same examination. In addition, this procedure is beneficial for identifying and removing precancerous polyps.
ERCP is a procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat specific problems in the bile duct or pancreatic duct system. A highly qualified and professional gastroenterologist primarily does this procedure through an endoscope.
The doctor can see the inside of the stomach and duodenum and inject contrast into the biliary tract and pancreatic ducts for X-ray viewing. ERCP procedure to treat various Biliary-pancreatic disorders includes the passage of a flexible endoscope with an attached tubular device into the bile duct and pancreatic ducts, with or without additional instruments passed through the lumen of the tube. The procedure may be done in either a diagnostic or therapeutic manner.
The gastro doctor obtains biopsy samples from suspicious tissue or normal tissues to rule out cancerous lesions in performing the exam. The doctor also opens blocked areas in the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.
