What is Endoscopy and Colonoscopy?

Endoscopy and colonoscopy are minimally invasive procedures used to examine the interior of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Endoscopy refers to the examination of the upper GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, using a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope). Colonoscopy involves the examination of the lower GI tract, specifically the colon and rectum, using a similar flexible tube (colonoscope).

Our Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Services

1. Upper Endoscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy – EGD):
This procedure allows us to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is used to diagnose and evaluate conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, bleeding, and tumors. During an upper endoscopy, our gastroenterologists can also perform biopsies, remove polyps, and treat certain conditions.

2. Colonoscopy:
Colonoscopy enables us to examine the entire colon and rectum. It is a critical tool for diagnosing and managing conditions such as colorectal cancer, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticulosis. The procedure also allows for the removal of polyps and biopsy of abnormal tissue for further analysis.

The Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Process

1. Preparation:
Proper preparation is crucial for accurate results. For an upper endoscopy, fasting is typically required for a few hours prior to the procedure. For a colonoscopy, patients are required to follow a specific bowel prep regimen to clear the colon of any residue. Our team will provide detailed instructions to ensure you are well-prepared.

2. Procedure:
Both procedures are performed using advanced, flexible endoscopic equipment. During the procedure, you will be given a sedative to ensure comfort and minimize discomfort. The endoscope is gently inserted through the mouth or rectum, allowing our gastroenterologists to visualize and assess the internal structures.

3. Post-Procedure:
After the procedure, you will be monitored until the effects of the sedative wear off. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions for post-procedure care and follow-up. We will discuss the findings with you, provide recommendations, and outline any necessary next steps.
