| We provide
comprehensive medical and surgical treatments for all gastrointestinal
disorders. Our physicians are specialized in gastroenterology,
which covers all aspects of the digestive system. We carry
out all gastrointestinal endoscopic and surgical procedures
including advanced video laparoscopic surgeries. Our procedures
include
1.
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a procedure that enables your physician to
examine the lining of the colon (large bowel) for abnormalities
by inserting a flexible fiber optic tube with its own light
source and lens.
2.
Gastroscopy/EGD
Upper Endoscopy (also known as an upper GI Endoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy
[EGD], or panendoscopy) is a procedure that enables your physician
to examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal
tract, i.e., the esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach, and
duodenum (first portion of the small intestine) using a thin
flexible fibre optic tube with its own lens and light source.
3.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is a procedure that enables your physician
to examine the lining of the rectum and a portion of the colon
(large bowel) by inserting a flexible fibre optic tube with
its own lens and light source.
4.
Esophageal Manometry
The purpose of Motility testing is to measure the pressure
to the lower esophageal Sphincter, the pressure and coordination
of the body of the esophagus and the upper esophageal sphincter
pressure and relaxation. The test is performed for patients
with swallowing problems, atypical chest pain, or long standing
esophageal reflux.
5.
24 HR. PH Probe
The purpose of the test is to monitor over a 24 hour period,
the amount of acid that refluxes into the esophagus. The test
is performed for patients with heartburn, hoarseness, chronic
cough, atypical chest pain and adult onset asthma.
6.
Capsule Endoscopy
This procedure enables your physician to examine and detect
any abnormalities in the small intestine. It involves the
patient to swallow a small capsule with an inbuilt camera.
7.
ERCP (Endoscopic
Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
The Endoscopic examination of the bile ducts, pancreas and
gall bladder. This procedure will also enable the physician
to provide treatment of any abnormalities.
8.
Liver Biopsy
A liver biopsy is performed to diagnose liver disorders by
examining liver tissue. The physician obtains a small specimen
of tissue by inserting a needle directly into the liver, through
the abdomen. The total procedure takes only fifteen minutes,
but you will remain in the hospital for up to four to six
hours.
