Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopic instruments that are maintained under strict infection control standards and procedures. The services provided by the unit include:
• Upper GI Endoscopy
• Side Viewing Endoscopy
• Intra operative Enteroscopy
• Lapro endoscopy
• Sigmoidoscopy, Colonoscopy
• ERCP
This is an endoscopic procedure to carry out the treatment for many of the conditions in the digestive system, as observed through a diagnostic endoscopy procedure.
While the diagnostic endoscopy provides the doctor a visual image of the organ for diagnosis, therapeutic endoscopy is used to provide the necessary treatment for the condition, including some minor endoscopic surgical procedures. In some cases, both these procedures are performed at the same time.
Some of the common therapeutic endoscopic procedures carried out in the hospital include:
