Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is now the gold standard used to detect or prevent individuals from getting colon cancer. Adults starting at age 45 years are strongly recommended to have a colonoscopy or some other test to screen for colon cancer.

Eternal Stents

A stent is often used to keep the affected area of the body open if a patient has a blockage or obstruction. A stent is a hollow tube made of plastic or metal inserted into the area of the body that is affected. An enteral stent refers to a stent placement somewhere within the digestive tract—it could be placed in the esophagus, duodenum, or colon.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

ERCP is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts, including gallstones, inflammatory strictures, blockages (obstruction), leaks, and cancer. ERCP can also be used to examine diseases of the pancreas, such as pancreatitis, stones or strictures of the pancreatic duct, pancreatic cysts, and tumors.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastronomy (PEG)

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure where physicians use an endoscope to insert a plastic flexible feeding tube through the upper abdominal wall directly into the stomach.This is generally performed on patients who, for various reasons, are no longer capable of eating or drinking enough food and liquids to sustain themselves.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy (PEJ)

A Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy (PEJ) is used to place a feeding tube directly into the jejunum, which is a part of the small intestine. This procedure is typically recommended for patients who cannot eat or swallow safely but require long-term nutritional support.

It is done using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera, which helps the doctor guide the placement of the feeding tube through the skin and into the jejunum.

Upper Endoscopy

An endoscopy is a very common and safe procedure that is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine, known as the duodenum, to get a closer look at what may be causing symptoms.
