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.
A skilled gastroenterologist inserts a flexible endoscope with a camera and an OVESCO clip applicator cap at its tip. The endoscope is guided through the mouth or rectum (depending on the targeted area) to reach the specific location within the GI tract.
The physician releases the OVESCO clip from the applicator cap using a controlled mechanism. The clip grasps and closes the targeted tissue.
The endoscope's camera provides a magnified view of the target tissue. The gastroenterologist carefully positions the endoscope to ensure the clip's precise placement.
Once the clip's proper placement and function are confirmed, the endoscope is carefully withdrawn
OVESCO clips can close small perforations (tears) in the GI tract, reducing the risk of infection and complications.
OVESCO clips can be used in a specific technique to create a partial fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to manage Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
OVESCO clips can effectively stop bleeding by closing the bleeding vessel in cases of active GI bleeding.
OVESCO clips can close abnormal connections (fistulas) between different organs within the abdomen.
Compared to traditional surgery, OVESCO clip placement offers a less invasive approach, resulting in quicker recovery and reduced discomfort.
OVESCO clips can be used for various GI interventions, providing a flexible treatment option.
The OVESCO clip design ensures secure targeted tissue closure.
Minimally invasive access lowers the risk of complications associated with traditional surgery.
The suitability for OVESCO clip placement depends on the specific GI condition and individual factors. Your gastroenterologist at GastroExperts will assess your case and determine if this approach is the most appropriate for you.
Like other endoscopic procedures, OVESCO clip placement might require fasting beforehand and potentially medications to cleanse your bowels. Your gastroenterologist will provide detailed pre-procedure instructions.
The procedure is typically performed under sedation. You won't feel pain during the procedure itself. The gastroenterologist will guide the endoscope and deploy the clips using visual guidance.
You will be monitored for a short period after the procedure. Recovery is typically quick, and depending on the complexity of the intervention, you might be able to go home the same day.
While generally safe, there are potential risks associated with any endoscopic procedure, such as bleeding or infection. Your gastroenterologist will discuss these risks thoroughly before the procedure.
Our team of highly skilled and experienced gastroenterologists at GastroExperts are well-versed in performing OVESCO clip placement procedures.
