Gastroscopy with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is a cutting-edge endoscopic technique employed at GastroExperts to augment the traditional white-light endoscopy. NBI offers a magnified view of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract’s mucosal lining, enhancing the detection and characterization of abnormalities. This advanced technology empowers our gastroenterologists with a more precise diagnostic tool for conditions like:
Colonoscopy with Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is a state-of-the-art advancement offered at GastroExperts to augment the effectiveness of traditional colonoscopy. NBI goes beyond standard white-light visualization by providing a high-definition view of the colon’s mucosal lining. This enhanced clarity allows our gastroenterologists to detect and characterize even subtle abnormalities, improving colorectal cancer screening and diagnosis.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a specialized endoscopic procedure offered at GastroExperts for diagnosing and treating problems related to the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts. It combines an endoscope, a long, flexible viewing instrument, with fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray imaging.
Therapeutic ERCP is a specialized endoscopic procedure offered at GastroExperts that goes beyond diagnosis. It combines the diagnostic capabilities of ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) with minimally invasive therapeutic interventions to address problems within the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), offered at GastroExperts, is a cutting-edge diagnostic procedure that combines the precision of endoscopy with the detailed imaging power of ultrasound. It provides a magnified view of the digestive tract’s internal layers and surrounding organs, aiding in diagnosing various conditions beyond the reach of traditional endoscopy.
Consultations with specialized neurologists to address various neurological concerns, symptoms, and disorders.
Capsule endoscopy, offered at GastroExperts, is a revolutionary diagnostic tool that utilizes a miniaturized, pill-sized camera to examine the inner lining of your small intestine. Unlike traditional endoscopy, which requires inserting a scope through the mouth or rectum, capsule endoscopy is painless and minimally invasive.
Esophageal manometry is a specialized test offered at GastroExperts to assess the muscular function of the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects your throat to your stomach. This test helps diagnose swallowing problems and various esophageal motility disorders that affect how food moves through the esophagus.
Esophageal dilation, or pneumatic balloon dilation, is a minimally invasive procedure offered at GastroExperts to treat achalasia, a condition affecting swallowing. In achalasia, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve at the end of the esophagus, fails to relax properly, making it difficult for food to pass into the stomach.
At GastroExperts, we offer the urea breath test, a simple and non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a type of bacteria that can live in your stomach and cause ulcers.
EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) and ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) are both minimally invasive endoscopic procedures used to remove abnormal growths, such as polyps and early-stage cancers, from the lining of the digestive tract. However, they differ in their approach and suitability for various situations. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand which procedure might be recommended for you:
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), offered at GastroExperts, is a groundbreaking endoscopic procedure designed to treat achalasia, a condition that affects swallowing. Achalasia is characterized by a malfunctioning lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve at the end of the esophagus that prevents food from flowing back into the esophagus. In achalasia, the LES fails to relax properly, causing difficulty swallowing and various uncomfortable symptoms.
Anorectal manometry (ARM), offered at GastroExperts, is a specialized test that evaluates the function of your rectum and anus, the muscles responsible for controlling stool continence and passage. This painless test helps diagnose various conditions affecting bowel control, leading to problems like constipation or fecal incontinence.
Biofeedback, offered at GastroExperts, is a therapeutic technique that trains you to become more aware of and control certain physiological functions. Using specialized equipment and sensors, biofeedback provides real-time feedback on your body’s responses, allowing you to learn how to modulate them for therapeutic benefit.
OVESCO clip placement, offered at GastroExperts, is a specialized endoscopic procedure that utilizes innovative OVESCO clips to address various gastrointestinal (GI) concerns. These clips are deployed through a minimally invasive endoscopic approach, avoiding the need for traditional open surgery.
FTRD device placement, offered at GastroExperts, is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that utilizes the innovative FTRD (Full-Thickness Resection Device) system by Ovesco to remove lesions within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This approach allows for safe and effective resection of abnormalities while minimizing incisions and recovery time.
Obesity balloon placement, offered at GastroExperts, is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that can help you achieve significant weight loss. It’s a valuable tool for patients struggling with obesity and its related health issues, but considering other weight loss methods first is crucial.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), also known as the accordion procedure, is a weight loss procedure offered at GastroExperts that utilizes an endoscope for a minimally invasive approach to help patients achieve significant weight loss. It’s a potential option for those struggling with obesity and its related health issues.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive image-guided procedure offered at some centers that may be considered for the treatment of bile duct cancers and, in some cases, pancreatic cancers. It’s important to understand that RFA is not a first-line treatment for these cancers, and its use is often considered in specific situations.
