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.
EUS offers a minimally invasive alternative to exploratory surgery for diagnosing various digestive conditions.
EUS provides a more comprehensive view than traditional endoscopy, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.
EUS can help determine some cancers' stage (extent), aiding in treatment planning.
EUS can guide needle biopsies of suspicious lesions for tissue sampling and definitive diagnosis.
EUS may be recommended if you experience unexplained abdominal pain, have a family history of certain cancers, or require further evaluation of abnormalities detected during other tests
Like other endoscopic procedures, EUS might require fasting beforehand and potentially medication to relax the stomach.
After the procedure, you might experience some throat soreness or mild discomfort. Most patients recover quickly and can resume normal activities soon after.
While generally safe, EUS carries some potential risks, like bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions to the medications used. Your gastroenterologist will discuss these risks in detail before the procedure.
Our gastroenterologists at GastroExperts are highly trained and experienced in performing EUS. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and prioritize patient comfort to ensure the best possible experience. If you have concerns about your digestive health and require a comprehensive evaluation, contact GastroExperts to schedule a consultation with one of our gastroenterologists to discuss whether EUS is the right diagnostic tool.
