Areas of Expertise
Gastroscopy
A gastroscopy is an examination to check inside your throat, food pipe (oesophagus) and stomach, known as the upper part of your digestive system.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy is an examination of the inside of your large intestine (colon). It’s helpful for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer.
Video Capsule Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure to visualize the inside of your digestive tract.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) helps doctors treat diseases in and around the digestive tract. It combines two kinds of technology: Endoscopy, which uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and a light on the end. Ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed pictures of internal organs.
Polypectomy
A polypectomy is an operation to remove a polyp from inside one of your organs. It’s usually a minimally invasive procedure.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy
PEG stands for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, a procedure in which a flexible feeding tube is placed through the abdominal wall and into the stomach. PEG allows nutrition, fluids and/or medications to be put directly into the stomach, bypassing the mouth and esophagus.
Fibroscans
Fibroscan is a test that allows the assessment of Hepatic Fibrosis as well as the quantification of Liver Fat. It is a non-invasive technique that is fast and reliable. It is particularly useful as an alternative to a Liver Biopsy.
