This unit performs a variety of procedures, including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, echoendoscopy, and esophageal and anorectal manometry, among others.
An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is used to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine in order to detect and treat conditions such as ulcers, tumors, inflammation, or bleeding.
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows the inside of the colon and rectum to be viewed using a flexible tube with a camera at the end. It is used to detect and treat conditions such as polyps, colon cancer, colitis, or diverticulosis.
