Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD’S)
Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure that uses a lighted, flexible endoscope to see inside the upper GI tract. The upper GI tract includes the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum—the first part of the small intestine.
Endoscopic Variceal Banding Ligation
Endoscopic band ligation is the use of elastic bands to PDF treat the varices. It is done as part of an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy.
PEG Placement
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a surgical procedure for placing a tube for feeding without having to perform an open operation on the abdomen (laparotomy). It is used in patients who will be unable to take in food by the mouth.
Screening and Therapeutic Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon). He or she uses a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope to look at the colon. A colonoscopy helps find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)
Gastrointestinal endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a procedure to remove early-stage cancer and precancerous growths from the lining of the digestive tract. Endoscopic mucosal resection is performed with a long, narrow tube equipped with a light and video camera. During EMR of the upper digestive tract, the doctor passes this tube (endoscope) down your throat into your esophagus, stomach or upper part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Argon Plasma Canon (APC)
Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a form of
electrosurgery used to treat tumors of the esophagus,
among others. It is also a non-invasive way to alleviate
symptoms of cancer
Diverticular Disease
Diverticular disease and diverticulitis are related digestive conditions that affect the large intestine (colon). In diverticular disease, small bulges or pockets (diverticula) develop in the lining of the intestine. Diverticulitis is when these pockets become inflamed or infected.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a procedure that allows
a doctorto obtain images and information about the
digestive tract and the surrounding tissue and organs,
including the lungs. Ultrasound testing uses sound waves
to make a picture of internal organs.
