Endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that involves the use of an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it. This advanced technology allows doctors to visually examine the interior of organs or cavities within the body. Endoscopy is used for diagnostic purposes, to investigate symptoms, and also for therapeutic interventions.
Rajnish Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopy facilities, offering patients access to advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. The hospital’s skilled gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, and other specialists perform a range of endoscopic examinations to diagnose and treat various medical conditions.
Types of endoscopic procedures offered at Rajnish Hospital include:
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EGD): This procedure allows doctors to examine the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy involves the examination of the large intestine (colon) and rectum using a flexible colonoscope. It is a vital screening tool for detecting colorectal cancer, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Bronchoscopy: This endoscopic procedure is used to examine the airways (bronchi) and lungs. It helps diagnose lung conditions such as infections, tumors, inflammation, and assesses lung function.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): ERCP combines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, pancreas, and gallbladder. It is used to remove gallstones, treat strictures, and address other biliary and pancreatic disorders.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): EUS combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract and nearby organs such as the pancreas and bile ducts. It is useful for diagnosing tumors, staging cancers, and assessing abnormalities in surrounding tissues.
Patients undergoing endoscopic procedures at Rajnish Hospital receive personalized care from experienced specialists and benefit from the hospital’s advanced technology and stringent safety protocols. Endoscopy plays a crucial role in early diagnosis, treatment planning, and improving patient outcomes in various gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and other medical conditions.
